Preservationist. Mountain man. Inventor. John Muir may be California's best-known icon. A literary naturalist and founder of the Sierra Club and Yosemite National Park, Muir left his legacy on the landscape and on paper. But the celebrity of John Muir does not tell the whole story. In \u003ci\u003eEssential Muir\u003c\/i\u003e, for the first time, Muir's selected writings include those that show his ecological vision without ignoring his racism, providing a more complete portrait of the man. Taking the best of John Muir's writings on nature and placing them alongside his musings on religion, society, and his fellow humans, \u003ci\u003eEssential Muir\u003c\/i\u003e asks the reader to consider how these connect, and what that means for Muir's legacy in environmentalism today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fred D. White's selections from Muir's writings, and his illuminating commentary in his revised introduction, reveal the complex man and writer behind the iconic name. In the new foreword, Jolie Varela (Tule River Yokut and Paiute) of Indigenous Women Hike speaks back to Muir, addressing the impact of his words and actions on California Indians. This collection, which highlights John Muir's charms and confronts his flaws, is vital for understanding the history of environmental thought.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 05, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51984063529261,"sku":"9781597145503","price":17.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/QlhYbDhQN3BBV1pqNG8vL0trd25UZz09.webp?v=1776081699","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/essential-muir-revised-a-selection-of-john-muirs-best-and-worst-writings-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
