We consider this collection not just an ode to a specific place, but a book about how places shape and are shaped by the people who inhabit them, how writers interpret places differently, and about the power of fiction itself: how stories are a means of engendering empathy, illuminating interconnection, prompting new ways of imagining and living, and by doing all of these, help birth cultures of conservation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWallace Stegner wrote, No place is a place until things that have happened in it are rememberedfictions serve as well as facts. We at Green Writers Press agree and believe such literary renderings are key components to the conservation, understanding, appreciation and preservation of places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Elder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 098998382X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780989983822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Green Writers Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"John Elder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44809644015871,"sku":"9780989983822","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c9a28a6a-8d0f-4053-b6ed-b40d0077c6b3.jpg?v=1707927071","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-vermont-fiction-john-elder-9780989983822","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
