Download All the Wild That Remains: Edward Abbey, Wallace Stegner, and the American West AudioBook Free
A homage to the Western world and to two great authors who set the standard for everyone who remember and defend it. Archetypal outdoors man Edward Abbey and proper, dedicated Wallace Stegner remaining their footprints all around the western landscaping. Now, the award-winning mother nature writer David Gessner employs the ghosts of the two remarkable writer-environmentalists - from Stegner's birthplace in Saskatchewan to the website of Abbey's pilgrimages to Arches - braiding their tales and asking the way they speak to the lives of all those who care about the West. What's the continuing future of an area beset by droughts and fires, by fracking and drilling? What should be achieved about an ever-increasing inhabitants that appears to be in the process of caring the Western world to loss of life? How might two environmental thinkers with radically different personalities - a reliable, mature advocate (Stegner) and a monkey-wrenching anarchist (Abbey) - have taken care of immediately the crisis? Gessner will take us by using an inspiring, entertaining trip as he renews his own dedication to cultivating a significant relationship with the outdoors, confronting American consumption, and struggling environmental injustice
