Essayist and poet Frank Stewart describes in rich and compelling prose the lives and works of the most prominent American nature writers of the19th and 20th centuries, including:<ul><li>Henry D. Thoreau, the father of American nature writing.</li><li>John Burroughs, a schoolteacher and failed businessman who found his calling as a writer and elevated the nature essay to a loved and respected literary form.</li><li>John Muir, founder of Sierra Club, who celebrated the wilderness of the Far West as few before him had.</li><li>Aldo Leopold, a Forest Service employee and scholar who extended our moral responsibility to include all animals and plants.</li><li>Rachel Carson, a scientist who raised the consciousness of the nation by revealing the catastrophic effects of human intervention on the Earths living systems.</li><li>Edward Abbey, an outspoken activist who charted the boundaries of ecological responsibility and pushed these boundaries to political extremes.</li></ul>Stewart highlights the controversies ignited by the powerful and eloquent prose of these and other writers with their expansive and often strongly political points of view. Combining a deeply-felt sense of wonder at the beauty surrounding us with a rare ability to capture and explain the meaning of that beauty, nature writers have had a profound effect on American culture and politics.
