Description: fresh air bright water Whether his subject is hunting wild turkey in West Virginia, the opening of the trout season, the sex life of oysters, or the sad fate of the heath hen, Nelson Bryant writes about the outdoors with humor, authority, and more than a small touch of the poet. Readers of his "Wood, Field, and Stream" column in The New York Times know that Bryant's writings provide a refreshing respite from the frustrations of twentieth-century life. Some 125 of his best columns are collected in this volume. As Bryant writes in his Preface to this collection, he does not rely on the "where the fish are biting" ap- proach. Rather he tries--with great success--to bring to his readers the delights of wood, field, and stream, and to give them memorable glimpses of such glories as "a mountaintop trout pond wreathed in mist, of black ducks flying low against a dark No- vember sky over a brown salt marsh, of great, silvery tarpon rolling in the Caribbean, of red grouse rising above the purple blooms of Scotland's heather." Fresh Air, Bright Water is a book to be cherished by hunters and fishermen, conservationists, and nature lovers of all sorts.
