Natural History and Nature Writing

Several people have asked me to recommend books on "Nature Writing" for them to read. That started me thinking about what Nature Writing was and how I might categorize it. I soon gave up the task. There are too many ways to slice that cake. I finally decided to simply list the books that I remembered having read and then try to see what they had in common. I'm sure there are books that I have forgotten, but the list is long enough and I'm going to leave it as it is.
