A Generous Nature: Lives Transformed by Oregon

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

Marcy Cottrell Houle’s A Generous Nature (Oregon State University) offers profiles of 21 conservationists and activists who have made enduring contributions to the preservation of Oregon’s wild and natural places and its high quality of life. These stories speak to their courage, foresight, and actions to save places, enact legislation, and motivate others to cherish and protect the places that make Oregon unique. In these times of unsettled political polarization and divisiveness, A Generous Nature is a crucial reminder of our individual and collective responsibility to stand for and defend the places, ideals, and laws that make Oregon a progressive model for the rest of the nation.
