http://home.utm.net/pan/krutch.htm

Extractions: The Modern Temper (1929) propelled him to fame. The book exuded disillusionment and despair. Krutch described how science replaced religious certainties with rational skepticism, leaving man in a meaningless world. But Krutch later discovered profound meaning in Nature. He became a celebrated nature writer and perhaps the first contemporary conservationists to explicitly embrace Pantheism. Shortly after he wrote The Modern Temper, Krutch read Walden by Henry David Thoreau."There can be no very black melancholy to him who lives in the midst of Nature and has his senses still," said Thoreau. The ennui-struck professor began to spend weekends in a small town fifty miles outside bustling New York, observing plants and animals. Nature gradually captivated him. He enthusiastically researched and wrote a biography of Thoreau, published in 1948. Inspired by the Concord naturalist, Krutch began to compose his own paeans to Nature. His first book, The Twelve Seasons Following his feelings, Krutch immersed himself in Nature. "The desert became the temple where the former agnostic, now a pantheist, went to worship," observed biographer John Margolis. "With his large straw hat, his baggy trousers, and a shirttail flapping behind him, he traveled countless miles of untrod desert land, always careful not to step upon some small plant struggling to make a life for itself there." When others accompanied him, "he was generous with his considerable knowledge of the desert, but sparing of pantheistic effusions. His meditations on the significance of what he saw were reserved for solitary contemplation, and for his nature writing."

Extractions: Joseph Wood Krutch Joseph Wood Krutch came to nature writing later in life, after a distinguished career as a drama critic and professor. He was born on November 25, 1893, in Knoxville, Tennessee. From 1924 to 1952, he was the drama critic for the magazine, The Nation. During that time he established his national reputation as a writer who approached his subject from a thoughtful, philosophical perspective. He published many books during this time, including a biography of Henry David Thoreau. Mr. Krutch turned to nature writing after he moved to Arizona in 1950 for health reasons. He discovered and fell in love with the desert. His passion for the desert and all its flora and fauna resulted in The Desert Year (1952), which tells of his first year living in the Sonoran Desert. In the first chapter he says, "There is all the difference in the world between looking at something and living in it." Each chapter is an essay on some aspect of desert life that has touched his life. In a gentle, conversational style he integrates his vast philosophical and artistic knowledge with everyday life in the desert. For example, he connects people such as Kant, Keats, and O’Keeffe to the desert land, plants, and people. The Desert Year won the John Burroughs Medal in 1954.

joseph wood krutch Biography, Book Reviews, and Favorite Quotationsof the literary naturalist. joseph wood krutch (1893-1970).
http://www.planetaryexploration.net/patriot/krutch.html

Extractions: Biographical Sketch Joseph Wood Krutch was one of America's most distinguished literary naturalists. Irwin Edman once remarked, "Krutch is a sound naturalist in the philosophical rather than the merely botanical and biological sense." He has been equally well known as a teacher, drama critic, biographer, editor, journalist, and public speaker. His 1954 book, The Measure of Man received the National Book Award for non-fiction. Originally pessimistic about the human condition, evidenced by the 1929 publication of The Modern Temper , Krutch eventually regained optimism by discovering Nature and accepting a Pantheist faith, what he called "faith in wildness." It is a shame Krutch is not more widely read today, for his insightful essays about man and nature remain delight. Dr. Krutch (his last name rhymes with "pooch," not "crutch") was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. He took his B.A. degree at the University of Tennessee, and his M.A. and Ph.D degrees from Columbia University. He began teaching at Columbia University in 1917. From 1924 until 1950 Dr. Krutch was the drama critic of the

NUMBER: QUOTATION: The vast majority of individual termites, belonging to the most highly evolved species, never leave their crowded fortress city, could not see anything if they did, spend their entire existence in the narrow chambers and narrower tunnels of a labyrinth where they were born and where they breathe perpetually the damp, carbon dioxide atmosphere and dread more than anything else being compelled to leave it, even for an instant. The lives of certain human city dwellers who spend their days in air-conditioned offices, pass from them through tunnels of the subway to narrow chambers in some housing development, may seem remotely analogous.

Extractions: Joseph Wood Krutch (1893-1970) was an outstanding amateur naturalist, conservationist, and writer. His books, Voice of the Desert and The Desert Year are classics about the Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona. Joseph Wood Krutch anticipated, and completely rebutted the so-called "wise use" movement nearly fifty years ago when he wrote: " The wisest, the most enlightened, the most remotely long-seeing exploitation of resources is not enough, for the simple reason that the whole concept of exploitation is so false and so limited that in the end it will defeat itself, and the earth will have been plundered, no matter how scientifically and farseeingly the plundering has been done.

http://www.creativequotations.com/one/1879.htm

Extractions: Though many have tried, no one has ever yet explained away the decisive fact that science, which can do so much, cannot decide what it ought to do. Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want. Any euphemism ceases to be euphemistic after a time and the true meaning begins to show through. It's a losing game, but we keep on trying. The cockroach and the bird were both here long before we were. Both could get along very well without us, although it is perhaps significant that of the two the cockroach would miss us more.
