Book summary


Edward Abbey goes beyond the wall of the city to write about the deserts and the rivers where he feels truly at home. Hiking the desert, traveling the river, Abbey looks not only into his environment and man's effect on it, but into the wilderness of the human heart and soul. These ten essays are reprinted from introductions Abbey has written for books of nature photography over the years.
