Synopsis
Wilderness and the American Spirit is a gripping exploration of the American spirit and our relationship to the environment that blends science, history, cultural criticism, and storytelling through the myths and stories of the American West along the Applegate Trail. The book tells a story of expansion of a nation across the continent illuminating the path we took to arrive here, in the 21st century, at the forward edge of environmental catastrophe and consequence. Told through stories of the first American emigrants who traveled west to the present day. These are stories of consumption, wealth and power that illuminate the American relationship to the environment and this storytelling model is a basis for new environmental thinking.

Wilderness and the American Spirit
Vendeur : Rarewaves USA, OSWEGO, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. The idea of the American spirit has always been rooted in expansion and abundance-at great cost to the environment. Americans now find themselves at the edge of consequence: entering an age of scarcity, less ready to thrive than ever before, and in need of a new relationship with the natural world. Wilderness and the American Spirit retells the story of the American West putting our national mythology in context with our current environmental crisis. Ruby McConnell is a geologist who uses the Applegate Trail-the lesser known southern alternative to the Oregon Trail-as a vehicle to tell stories in the same way that Rachel Carson used birds and Edward Abbey used Arches. The trail begins in the deserts of Nevada, home of today's Burning Man Festival. She follows the route westward through time and place exploring map-making, land use policies, the establishment of utopian communities (both faith-based and not), and the creation of resource based economies, connecting the dots and showing how we got to now. Blending history, science, and storytelling Wilderness and the American Spirit traces one route leading to our current moment and suggests new routes to move us forward.
