Description

An introduction to the great ”poetico-trampo-geologist-botanist and ornithologist-naturalist”

Preservationist. Inventor. Lobbyist. John Muir used to be many things at once, and he’s California’s best-known icon–such a lot in order that his image used to be chosen to appear on the new state quarter. But one of the simplest ways to know the man who founded the Sierra Club and helped create Yosemite National Park is to read his own words.

Essential Muir is the second one volume in the California Legacy Essentials Collection. Taking the most productive of John Muir’s writings on nature–in which he waxes ecstatic while he as it should be describes the scientific attributes of a flower–in addition to his thoughts on religion and society, this book presents a fresh look at one of California’s greatest literary figures. His love for nature used to be so powerful–and his description of it so compelling–it still inspires us a century later.
