Celebrate literary naturalists whose writings connect humans with the natural world beyond political boundaries—their message about Earth's "other nations" growing more urgent as wild places become increasingly scarce.

Celebrate the tradition of literary naturalists and writers who embrace the natural world as the setting for some of our most euphoric and serious experiences. These books map the intimate connections between the human and the natural world. Literary naturalists transcend political boundaries, social concerns, and historical milieus; they speak for what Henry Beston called the "other nations" of the planet. Their message acquires more weight and urgency as wild places become increasingly scarce.
