Description
The Yosemite: Annotated by John MuirIt is hard to imagine any author could bring alive and do justice to Yosemite National Park's incredible grandeur in a book, but Muir has succeeded. He paints vivid pictures of the famous national park in Northern California and shows off his encyclopedic knowledge of every park's imaginable element. A labour of love for the Scottish-born naturalist.This book is genuinely inspirational prose poetry from the man who is the figurehead for the conservation of "wild" spaces, as his superhuman and perilous-sounding feats of exploration in Yosemite (including getting a soaking underneath a waterfall in the depths of winter) to the detailed naming of plants & trees in topographical.
