| 1. |  | Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  I read this book (age 57) when my daughter(age 20) was training to climb Aconcagua and I was petrified.

| 4. |  | A Sand County Almanac (Outdoor Essays & Reflections) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $33.71 Customer Review: The definitive anchor volume on the bookshelf of modern American conservation.

| 7. |  | Desert Solitaire from Ballantine Books Price: $7.99 Customer Review: This is all over the map. It's a hermit's reflections on a world that moves too slowly for the rest of us to see. It's a naturalist's insight into the behavior of animals and people. It's a political extremist's commentary on unchecked development and resource depletion. Best of all, it's a... |

| 11. |  | Pilgrim at Tinker Creek (Harper Perrennial Modern Classics) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $10.17 Customer Review: This was the first book of Nature Writing I had ever read as a freshman in college.

| 15. |  | The Last American Man from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $9.75 Customer Review: This book really made me think. It wasn't the best written book.

This book has seriously made me look at the purpose and quality of... |

White said if anyone attempted to recapture the way that Thoreau writes it would be impossible, the book would be torn and... |
