In the Company of Light

Beschreibung

"One of the most daring of contemporary writers in the genre." -Norton Anthology of Nature Writing "[Hay's] books about Cape Cod belong in the company of Thoreau, Donald Culross Peattie, Henry Beston, and Rachel Carson." -Robert Taylor, The Boston Globe "Hay's new book, published in his 83rd year, is autumnal in spirit and in substance. . . . The essence of this enterprise is a kind of prayer, eloquent and deeply felt." -Richard Todd, Civilization "[Hay] is, to my mind, without question this country's greatest living nature writer. . . . He writes out of such a profoundly poetic impulse that he cannot help but produce prose of a high literary order." -Robert Finch, The Cape Codder "Hay loses himself in details, describing the minute play of light through grasses, the reflection of a water bug on the rocks of a stream bottom, the fungi on fallen trees that begin to glow with an eerie luminescence. . . . [He] is not only the observer of what most of us don't see, but of what we may never get a chance to see." -David Cline, Hartford Advocate "In the Company of Light shares with considerable humility the well-honed insights of a man rich in the wisdom of age and observation of nature." -Nancy Grape, Maine Sunday Telegram John Hay is author of The Great Beach (winner of the John Burroughs Prize), The Run, and A Beginner's Faith in Things Unseen, among many other books. He lives in Brewster, on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, and in Bremen, Maine.

Autor

Saucerian Publisher was founded with the mission of promoting books in Ufology, Paranormal , and the Occult. Our vision is to preserve the legacy of literary history by reprint editions of books which have already been exhausted or are difficult to obtain. Our goal is to help readers, educators and researchers by bringing back original publications that are difficult to find at reasonable price, while preserving the legacy of universal knowledge. Very rare UFO-mation ,edition! This is a rare set of UFO-mation issues published by New York Saucer Information Bureau, between 1958- 59. These are VERY hard to come across these days. We decided to published them as a collected edition as a set to make it easier for someone to add them to their flying saucer / UFO collection. This title is an authentic reproduction of the original printed text in shades of gray. THIS IS NOT A COMPLETED COLLECTIONS. SOME ISSUES ARE MISSING. IMPORTANT: Despite the fact that we have attempted to accurately maintain the integrity of the original work, the present reproduction may have minor errors beyond our control like: missing and blurred pages, poor pictures and readers' pencil markings from the original scanned copy. HOWEVER, because this book is culturally important, we have made available as part of our commitment to protect, preserve and promote knowledge in the world. These issues are an authentic reproduction of the issues of the UFO-mation for the years: 1958-1959. Great, but unpretentious, these issues are extraordinarily rare symbols by themselves of what was going on in those early years of the modern UFO era. This collected edition has the following issues of UFO-mation : Vol. I--#3 (May 7th, April 15 th, April 21 st, 1958); Vol 1 No 1 (Winter Issue); Vol 1, No 2 (Spring Issue); Vol 1 No 3 (Summer Issue); Vol 1 No 4 (Fall Issue, 1959).
