Reconnecting with John Muir: Essays in Post-pastoral Practice

The mountain environment provides a common ground for the diverse modes of engagement and mediation. By attempting to understand the meaning of Muir's assertion that ""going to the mountains is going home,"" the author points us toward a practice of integrated reading, scholarship, teaching, and writing that is adequate to our environmental crisis.
