书籍简介

1869年夏天，年轻的约翰·缪尔加入了一群在加州内华达山脉山麓劳作的牧羊人队伍。除了花了无数时间与该组织一起工作，缪尔还不知疲倦地倡导保护这片土地。他的努力最终促成了约塞米蒂山谷国家公园的建立，这是美国环境保护史上的一个里程碑。看一眼缪尔的私人日记，我在塞拉亚度过的第一个夏天对他在那里的时光进行了精彩的复述。约翰·缪尔的个人故事充满了幽默轶事和富有洞察力的散文，很可能会激发你收拾行囊，前往山区。

In the summer of 1869, a young John Muir joined a crew of shepherds working in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada mountains. Spending countless hours working with the group, Muir also worked tirelessly to advocate for the land's protection. His efforts eventually transpired into the founding of Yosemite Valley as a national park, a landmark event in the history of United States environmentalism. A glimpse into Muir's private journals, My First Summer in the Sierra is the remarkable retelling of his time there. Full of humorous anecdotes and insightful prose, John Muir personal narrative will likely inspire you to pack up your belongings and head for the mountains.

作者简介

约翰·缪尔(1838-1914)是一位博物学家、作家、环境活动家，也是美国最早倡导保护荒野土地的人之一。由于缪尔坚持不懈的行动主义，加州一些最受人喜爱的国家公园，包括约塞米蒂谷、红杉国家公园和内华达山脉的大部分地区，多年来一直受到保护和维护。穆尔还在1892年创立了塞拉俱乐部，这是一个至今仍有影响力的环保组织。作为一名多产的作家，缪尔运用他的口才说服别人的才能，帮助制定了其他关键的法律，这些法律对保护美国国土上的自然资源是不可或缺的。

John Muir (1838-1914) was a naturalist, author, environmental activist, and one of the earliest advocates for the preservation and protection of wilderness lands in the United States. Thanks to Muir’s relentless activism, some of California’s most beloved national parks have been protected and maintained throughout the years, including Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park, and much of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Muir also founded the Sierra Club in 1892, an influential environmental organization still in existence today. A prolific writer, Muir used his talents of rhetorical persuasion to help enact other key legislation that was integral to the preservation of natural resources throughout our land.
