by Posted on

This application from the Sierra Club, contains quotations from poets, outlaws, environmentalists, naturalists, regarding nature, and the world around us. The classic sources of insight into the natural world–Muir, Whitman, Emerson, Thoreau–are present in this application. They are joined by twentieth-century masters of nature writing Aldo Leopold, Annie Dillard, Peter Matthiessen, Barry Lopez , scientists Rachel Carson, James D. Watson , activists David Brower, Dave Foreman , politicians Stewart Udall, Bill Clinton , and many others with a love of the earth and a way with words. Each of Speaking of Nature s entries presents a thoughtful observation on one side the other provides biographical notes about the speaker. Whether they are Charles Darwin s unexpectedly funny words on beetles, Edward Abbey s cranky asperity, or an Ernest Hemingway eulogy for a fellow outdoorsman, these quotations reaffirm our profound connection with Earth and remind us to tread lightly. A portion of this mobile application s sales proceeds are donated to the Sierra Club for environmental protection causes.
