内容简介

记录了全美经典的国家公园。对今天疲惫不堪地生活在都市中的人们来说，这是一部至高无上的指南，所有去过美国国家公园的人们，以及有一天将要去那里旅行的人们，都会被缪尔的描述迷住。让我们与约翰·缪尔一起聆听瀑布、小鸟和微风的歌唱，读懂岩石，学习洪水、风暴和雪崩的语言，与冰川和野外的公园熟识，尽可能地去靠近世界的心灵。

For every person who has experienced the beauty of the mountains and felt humbled by comparison.

John Muir's Our National Parks—reissued to encourage, and inspire travelers, campers, and contemporary naturalists—is as profound for readers today as it was in 1901.

Take in John Muir's detailed observations of the sights, scents, sounds, and textures of Yosemite, Yellowstone, and forest reservations of the West. Be reminded (as Muir sagely puts), ?Wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.?

John Muir's warmth, humor, and passionate advocacy for these public lands is enough to spur any reader on to plan a National Parks adventure of their own.
