Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. A thoughtful account of the status and future of the National Park Service, framed around a former ranger's 240 mile hike. The hike started in Yosemite National Park and ended in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in 2006. His beautiful descriptions and keen analysis of environmental problems are food for thought. I read this book in anticipation of a trip to see the sequoias and it has only deepened my interest. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
In this provocative walking meditation, writer and former park ranger William Tweed takes us to California's spectacular High Sierra to discover a new vision for our national parks as they approach their 100th anniversary. Tweed, who worked among the Sierra Nevada's big peaks and big trees for more than thirty years, has now hiked more than 200 miles along California's John Muir Trail in a personal search for answers: How do we address the climate change we are seeing even now-in melting glaciers in Glacier National Park, changing rainy seasons on Mt Rainer, and more fire in the West's iconic parks. Should we intervene where we can to preserve biodiversity? Should the parks merely become ecosystem museums that exhibit famous landscapes and species? Asking how we can make these magnificent parks relevant for the next generation, Tweed, through his journey, ultimately shows why we must do just that. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
