«The Yosemite» is John Muir's classic of nature literature, published by Sierra Club Books in paperback (215 pages, in English).
John Muir portrays the Yosemite Valley, his «wonderland», with descriptions of its flora, fauna, and natural features. The author alternates contemplation of the landscapes with intense passages, such as leaning over the edge of Yosemite Falls or climbing the snow-covered South Dome to see the sea of clouds from above.
The work belongs to the John Muir Library series and includes a foreword by David Brower and an index. It is a 1988 reprint from Sierra Club Books.
Ideal for lovers of nature, hiking, and the history of the American conservation movement.
John Muir, also known as "John of the Mountains" and "Father of the National Parks", was a Scottish-born American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher, botanist, zoologist, glaciologist, and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States.
