For a long time, America's countrywide parks have provided general population breathing areas in a global in which such areas are steadily disappearing, which is why close to 300 million people visit the parks every year. Now, to honor the centennial of the National Recreation area Service, Terry Tempest Williams, the author of the loved memoir When Women Were Parrots, profits with The Hour of Land, a literary special event of our countrywide parks, what they indicate to us, and that which we indicate to them. Through 12 carefully chosen parks, from Yellowstone in Wyoming to Acadia in Maine to Big Bend in Tx, Tempest Williams creates some lyrical portraits that illuminate the unique grandeur of each place while delving into what this means to shape a landscape using its own evolutionary background into something of our own making. Part memoir, part natural background, and part social critique, The Hour of Land is a deep breathing and manifesto on why outrageous lands subject to the heart of America. Our countrywide parks stand at the intersection of mankind and wildness, and there's nobody better than Tempest Williams to guide us there.
