书籍介绍

1869年的夏天，年轻的苏格兰移民约翰·缪尔(John Muir)加入了一队牧羊人，在加州内华达山脉的山麓上漫步。他在放羊时所写的日记构成了这本书的核心内容，并吸引了成千上万的美国人去参观约塞米蒂国家公园。该书的1911版《我在Sierra的第一个夏天》收录了他在约塞米蒂河谷四个月期间创作的抒情作品和素描。他的唱片记录了那次难忘的经历，以如画的语言描述了宏伟的远景、动植物，以及该地区其他令人惊叹的自然奇观。今天，缪尔被认为是美国重要和有影响力的自然学家和自然作家。这本书是作者受欢迎的作品，书中生动的观察将使环境保护主义者和自然爱好者欢欣鼓舞。

In the summer of 1869, John Muir, a young Scottish immigrant, joined a crew of shepherds in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. The diary he kept while tending sheep formed the heart of this book and eventually lured thousands of Americans to visit Yosemite country.

First published in 1911, My First Summer in the Sierra incorporates the lyrical accounts and sketches he produced during his four-month stay in the Yosemite River Valley and the High Sierra. His record tracks that memorable experience, describing in picturesque terms the majestic vistas, flora and fauna, and other breathtaking natural wonders of the area.

Today Muir is recognized as one of the most important and influential naturalists and nature writers in America. This book, the most popular of the author's works, will delight environmentalists and nature lovers with its exuberant observations.
