Steep Trails: Western Wilderness Essays on Sierra Nevada Journeys, Yellowstone Geysers, Grand Canyon Wonder, and National Park Conservation - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Steep Trails gathers John Muir's essays of travel, observation, and environmental witness across the American West, from the Sierra Nevada and Yellowstone to Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and beyond. Published posthumously in 1918, the volume reveals Muir at once as field naturalist, geologist, and prose poet: his sentences move from exact botanical and topographical notation into rapturous spiritual apprehension. In the lineage of Thoreau and Romantic nature writing, yet grounded in empirical scrutiny, the book transforms difficult journeys into meditations on wildness, deep time, and the moral claims of landscape. Muir's life made such a book almost inevitable. Scottish-born, raised in Wisconsin, and self-educated through mechanical ingenuity and wilderness wandering, he became one of America's most influential conservationists. His years in the Sierra, his role in founding the Sierra Club, and his campaigns for national parks shaped a vision in which scientific attention and reverence for nature were inseparable. These essays preserve the authority of a man who walked the terrain he defended. Steep Trails is recommended to readers of environmental literature, American intellectual history, and elegant travel writing. It offers not merely scenery, but a disciplined education in seeing wild places as living presences worthy of wonder and protection.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 'Steep Trails,' John Muir invites readers to journey through the sublime landscapes of the Sierra Nevada, blending vivid descriptions of nature with reflective essays on humanity's relationship with the environment. The text showcases Muir's lyrical prose and deep appreciation for the wilderness, echoing the Romantic era's celebration of nature while simultaneously addressing the emerging conservation movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Muir's intimate observations and passionate advocacy illuminate the intrinsic beauty of the mountains, as well as the pressing need for their preservation, positioning the work as a cornerstone of American nature writing. John Muir, often dubbed the 'Father of the National Parks,' spent decades exploring the natural wonders of North America, which profoundly shaped his worldview. His experiences as a botanist, glaciologist, and outspoken environmentalist informed his writings, encouraging a profound respect for natural landscapes. Muir's dedication to the preservation of wilderness areas led to significant environmental legislation, exemplifying his role not only as a writer but also as a crucial figure in America's conservation history. 'Steep Trails' is a must-read for nature enthusiasts, environmental advocates, and lovers of American literature. Muir's evocative storytelling not only immerses readers in breathtaking vistas but also compels them to reflect on their own connection to the earth. This classic text remains a vital commentary on environmental stewardship and the enduring beauty of wild places. N° de réf. du vendeur 9788028370305
