Journalist, advocate, and teacher, Michael frome has spent decades engaged with conversation and America’s national parks. From this experience and knowledge he understands what challenges remain and what momentum must be recovered to revitalize and preserve these special places. Part memoir, part history, and part broadside against those who would diminish our natural heritage, Rediscovering National Parks in the Spirit of John Muir bears witness through reflection and rumination to the grandeur of our parks, to the need for a renewed sense of appreciation, and to individual responsibility for their care.
In light of the fatal bear attack in Yellowstone last week, we address the historical context of national park preservation and our role in regulating nature and wild animals.
