Beschreibung

In "Riverby," John Burroughs offers a profound exploration of the natural world through a series of contemplative essays that seamlessly blend personal reflection with astute observations of wildlife and landscape. Written in a lyrical style characteristic of 19th-century American nature writing, Burroughs'Äôs prose invites readers to engage deeply with their surroundings, drawing on rich imagery and sensory detail. As an early proponent of the environmentalist movement, Burroughs contextualizes his work within the burgeoning appreciation for nature during the American Transcendentalist period, echoing the sentiments of contemporaries like Thoreau and Emerson while establishing his distinct voice. John Burroughs (1837-1921) was a naturalist and essayist whose lifelong affinity for the great outdoors began in his youth, growing up on a farm in New York. His interactions with nature fostered a passionate advocacy for ecological conservation, and his writings reflect a commitment to observing and preserving the beauty of the natural world. Burroughs'Äôs connections with influential figures in the conservation movement, alongside his travels and experiences in varied landscapes, culminated in this celebrated collection that seeks to inspire a reverent connection to nature through the written word. Readers who seek to cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation of the natural world will find "Riverby" to be an enriching companion. Burroughs'Äôs elegantly crafted prose not only enlightens but also encourages introspection and mindfulness about one'Äôs place within the environment. This book is essential for those who appreciate nature writing and the philosophical inquiries it inspires, making it a timeless classic in American letters.

    In the list of popular American geological oddities and attractions, one sizeable phenomenon remains surprisingly unfamiliar to the average citizen. This may be due in part to its remote desert location, but perception of the Salton Sea in southern California is also laden with environmental concerns and is in a constant state of flux. The extensive body of inland saltwater hides a glorious commercial past and has served as an important wildlife preserve but approaches a seemingly inevitable crisis in the coming decade. 
    	The Salton Sea in not directly “on the way” to anything substantial or iconic, and is situated one hour’s drive from Palm Springs, 30 miles to the south of Indio, California on Highway 111. Its distance from Los Angeles and San Diego is approximately three hours driving time. The most recognizable natural phenomenon of Imperial and Riverside counties, it is surrounded by a rural area comprised of predominantly migrant farm workers and located in the southern Colorado desert area known as the Salton Trough, or Salton Sink. 
    	Despite being a natural occurrence filling and emptying intermittingly throughout history, the current presence of this large inland sea surrounded by sand was created accidentally in the early 20th century. First formed around 700 CE, the original and much larger version of the great inland lake was called Lake Cahuilla, connected to the Sea of Cortez. By the time the first Europeans arrived in the 16th century, the basin was completely dry as Don Juan Bautista led the first party across the basin’s expanse.  
    	The “accidental” creation of the lake’s modern version was a product of the rising Colorado that destroyed a crucial section of the canal system designed to help farmers. Millions of gallons of water were forced into the lowland area. Beyond the one breach, the entire volume of the river flowed into the Salton lowlands for nearly two years before engineers finally stopped it.
