John Muir
À propos de cette écoute
The pioneering advocate of wilderness preservation, John Muir (1838-1914) was influential in the creation of many national parks.
The Ultimate John Muir Collection includes:
Book one: Our National Parks, (1901), comprising 10 essays that previously appeared as articles in the Atlantic Monthly. The text is devoted to Yosemite in the heart of the Sierra Nevada.
Book two: Stickeen (1880) is Muir's account of what happened on an Alaskan glacier with a dog named Stickeen. First published in Century Magazine (1897) this compelling story remains on of the author’s most popular works.
Book three: My First Summer in the Sierra is based on a diary Muir kept while tending sheep in Yosemite country and is filled with the author’s awe for the divine and enduring wealth of the natural world. It remains a classic of environmental literature that continues to inspire people.
Book four: The Yosemite, in which Muir chronicled his experiences of the beautiful wilderness in appealingly descriptive prose. It portrays the shifting phases of the year in Yosemite - flood-time with its waterfalls, Indian summer, the brooding fall, and the sublime darkness of storm nights.
Book five: Travels in Alaska describes the beauty of the Alaskan wilderness and its inhabitants as observed during Muir’s travels between 1879 and 1890. In poetic prose he describes the area’s magnificent glaciers and its animals like bears, bald eagles, wolves, and whales.
Book six: A Thousand-Mile Walk To The Gulf. In 1867, Muir left Indiana and walked 1,000 miles to the Gulf Coast, carrying only a compass, a map, a brush, and some soap. Taken from his earliest journals, the text chronicles his impressions of the South in the wake of the Civil War. Studying the flora and fauna along the way, Muir records his journey on foot across Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, and his trip to California by boat.
