书籍简介

1869年夏天，约翰·缪尔带着一群羊从加州中央谷出发，跋涉进入内华达山脉的山麓。他的日记记录了他在后来成为优胜美地国家公园的这片土地上度过的那个夏天。

缪尔赞美内华达山脉的蜥蜴和美洲狮、参天大树和壮丽瀑布、狂暴的雷暴和熊，将人们对自然的认知提升到了一个精神层面。

约翰·缪尔被国际公认为现代自然保护运动的奠基人之一，他的远见卓识、满腔热情和正直品格至今仍然激励着读者——尤其是在他这本受喜爱的著作中。

In the summer of 1869, John Muir set out from California's Central Valley with a flock of sheep and trekked into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. His journals describe the summer he spent in what would become Yosemite National Park.

Celebrating the Sierra's lizards and mountain lions, tall trees and waterfalls, fierce thunderstorms and bears, Muir raises an awareness of nature to a spiritual dimension.

John Muir is internationally acknowledged as one of the founding fathers of modern conservation and his vision, passion and integrity continue to inspire readers today - particularly in this, his best-loved book.

作者简介

约翰·缪尔（1838-1914）出生于英格兰东洛锡安郡的邓巴镇，并在那里长大。1849年，他的家人到威斯康星州，年幼的约翰便在父亲的农场里开始从事繁重的体力劳动。他天生具有发明创造的天赋，一次工业事故几乎使他失明，之后他才发觉了行走和写作的乐趣。他的日记、文章和演讲提高了国际社会对环境保护的认识，并促成了美国格兰特将军国家公园、红杉国家公园和优胜美地国家公园的建立，以及他故乡东洛锡安郡重要自然保护区的建立。约翰·缪尔从此被尊为现代环境运动之父。

John Muir (1838-1914) was born and raised in Dunbar, East Lothian. When his family emigrated to Wisconsin in 1849, young John was bought up to hard labour on his father's homestead. A natural inventor, he first discovered the joys of walking, and writing, after an industrial accident nearly blinded him. His journals, articles and lectures helped to develop international awareness of the need to preserve and protect the environment, and led to the foundation of the General Grant, Sequoia and Yosemite national parks in the US, as well as important conservation areas in his native East Lothian. John Muir has been honoured ever since as the father of the modern environment movement.
