The Essence of the Utah Wilderness Lands
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
A worthy anthology of short stories paying tribute and articulating the spirituality of the wild public domain lands of Utah. Anyone who has spent time hiking, camping, or otherwise experiencing the unique deserts and mountains will enjoy and relate to the stories shared by contributors who are various well-known icons from diverse backgrounds promoting a land conservation ethic. The good writing really makes the places come alive. This book was prepared in an effort to tell the story and promote the protection of the wild lands of Utah. I have experienced living in and enjoying these lands first hand. The book hits the mark - it inspires a similar awe of the actual natural experience of these lands even in a mining engineer like myself. The book reinforces the true reality that many of these lands deserve strict protection for the enjoyment of those who seek wilderness, solitude, and a temporary recess from the insane.
