Visionary Voices

Reflecting back on a century and a half of wilderness conservation in the United States, author Kim Heacox gathers the thoughts of the most influential writers in the field. The chapters titles say it all: * A Different Drummer: The Prophets of Preservation (John Muir) * Thinking Like a Mountain: Aldo Leopold and the Land Ethic * Burn Candles with Independence: Bob Marshall and the Freedom of the Wilderness * Something Infinitely Healing: Rachel Carson and the House of Life * Paradox and Bedrock: Edward Abbey and the Arid Truth * Listen to the Land, Eloquently: Biodiversity and the Geography of Hope (Marjory Stoneman Douglas) Since this is a National Geographic production, there are plenty of photographs to bring life and passion ot the written words. Anyone wishing to trace the American conservation movement to its roots would find this book worthwhile. This volume is part of the National Geographic's Special Publications Series, one of the best-kept secrets in the world of books. Since 1966 the Society had released four titles per year. The same size and shape as their iconic magazine, these hardcovers present the best that National Geographic has to offer, and without the ads! Authors have included such scientific luminaries as Isaac Asimov, Bob Ballard, Jane Goodall and Louis Leakey.
