Nature Writing:
An Exploration of a Genre, McHenry and Science Libraries took place from
September 18-December 18, 1995 at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Nature writing synthesizes scientific information and artistic/literary
expression, producing some of the most evocative and essential writing of the
late twentieth century. But what is nature writing? Does it include fiction and
poetry? What are the historical and cultural roots of this genre, and whose
voices have been included or excluded? This exhibit featured writing by Barry
Lopez, Terry Tempest Williams, Gary Nabhan, Rachel Carson, Gretel Ehrlich, John
McPhee, Linda Hogan, Leslie Marmon Silko, Garrett Hongo, and other writers of
natural history literature.
Bibliography
Note: Because Nature Writing crosses science and the humanities, and transcends the boundaries of traditional disciplines it can be difficult for the library researcher to locate. The anthologies listed in this bibliography are a good place to begin to delve into the primary writers in the genre. Audubon magazine (UCSC Sci Lib QL671.A82) also publishes a variety of nature writing.
