Book Reviews of Wilderness and the American Mind, Fourth Edition
Book Review: A classic study of the origins of the wilderness thought.
Summary: 4 Stars
Nash provides some of the best short writing about historic figures who are central to the environmental movement: Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and Aldo Leopold. The theme throughout is wilderness, so readers should not make the mistake of thinking this is a definitive history of the environmental or conservation movements. However, as a scholarly introduction to major themes in environmental history, this book stands alone. The first two chapters are somewhat tedious, as Nash attempts to create a philosophical underpinning for American attitudes toward nature. The nature enthusiast who tolerates this somewhat awkward section will be rewarded with an insightful and informative read.
