In this powerful study, Michael Cohen captures as never before the complex consciousness, vision, and legacy of the pioneering environmentalist John Muir. More than just another biography.
Michael P. Cohen received his Ph.D. in literature from the University of California, Irvine, and presently teaches English at Southern Utah State College in Cedar City, Utah. He spent ten seasons climbing in the Sierra Nevada, and is now a passionate fly fisherman in the summer, a skier in winter. As Muir wrote to save wild places, so Cohen writes for the mountains, and for people who want to understand the evolution of ecological consciousness and conscience in America.
