Customer Reviews

This book changed my life.

I first saw this book in the late 60s, I was young, it expanded my universe. Together with all of John Muir's work, others of Thoreau, Ansel Adams and a book named On The Loose, the effect was complete. In our cynical times what these artists have to say is even more important. A beautiful work. The title says it all In Wildness Is the Preservation of the World I have no doubt that is true.

A Book for the Soul

The photography in this book is spectacular! It is what you expect from a Sierra Club book. Put together with wonderfully thoughtful and though-provoking texts by various writers, this book can give even a hard-core city slicker pause. Wilderness at its best....words to salve the heart.
