Muir and Alaska
Southeast Alaska, Once Upon A Time
Don't know what to make of this
Muir in southeast Alaska.
The Literary Side of Science Muir also uses very detailed descriptions throughout "Travels in Alaska".Although at times his painstaking description is a plus, at others, he seems to take it a little too far.Numerous times throughout the book, Muir spent a paragraph or two talking about something slightly insignificant.He would go off on a tangent of enthusiasm for something as simple as a sunrise or the rain.While his careful observances make the book enjoyable, the sometimes excessive detail tends to detract from the point he was trying to make.The description also reveals that his heart and soul was in his research; this became very evident upon reading the long and thoughtful descriptions. |

Editorial Review Book Description Muir recognized that wilderness should not only be appreciated but should be fought for as well. He sparked the preservationist movement in the United States and throughout the world, working with President Theodore Roosevelt to establish national parks and spearheading the founding of the Sierra Club, an organization that to this day carries on the work he began long ago of encouraging citizen action to protect the natural world. This book is the second in a series of illustrated books by Thomas Locker introducing readers to notable people who loved and wrote about the American land, and especially about the value of wilderness.

Editorial Review Book Description As a founder of the Sierra Club and promoter of the national parks, as apassionate nature writer and as a principal figure of the environmentalmovement, John Muir stands as a powerful symbol of connection with the naturalworld. But how did Muir's own relationship with nature begin? In this pioneeringbook, Steven J. Holmes offers a dramatically new interpretation of Muir'sformative years, one that reveals the agony as well as the elation of hisearliest experiences of nature. From his childhood in Scotland and Wisconsin through his young adulthood in theMidwest and Canada, Muir struggled-often without success-to find a place forhimself both in nature and in society. Far from granting comfort, the naturalworld confronted the young Muir with a full range of practical, emotional, andreligious conflicts. Only with the help of his family, his religion, and theextraordinary power of nature itself could Muir in his late twenties find awelcoming vision of nature as home-a vision that would shape his lifelongenvironmental experience, most immediately in his transformative travels throughthe South and to the Yosemite Valley. More than a biography, The Young John Muir is a remarkable exploration of thehuman relationship with wilderness. Accessible and engaging, the book willappeal to anyone interested in the individual struggle to come to terms with thepower of nature. For the first time placing the development of Muir's environmentalconsciousness in the context of his human relationships, this majorreinterpretation of the early life of John Muir emphasizes Muir's childhood andyouth rather than adulthood. Holmes shows how Muir's youthful experiences andinfluences caused him to perceive his natural surroundings as a religiously- charged "home," continuous with the emotional and cultural meanings of hisactual home.
