• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

As a central figure in the American wilderness preservation movement in the mid-twentieth century, Howard Zahniser (1906-1964) was the person most responsible for the landmark Wilderness Act of 1964, which included his eloquent definition of wilderness: Â"an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.Â" In this deeply researched and affectionate portrait, Mark Harvey brings to life this great leader of environmental activism.
