Produktinformationen "Steep Trails"

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.
