"Joseph Wood Krutch November 25, 1893 - May 22, 1970) was an American writer, critic, and naturalist who wrote nature books on the American Southwest and developing a pantheistic philosophy.......After moving to Tucson, Arizona in 1952, partly for reasons of health, Krutch wrote several books about natural issues of ecology, the southwestern desert environment, and the natural history of the Grand Canyon, winning renown as a naturalist, nature writer, and an early conservationist. Like Aldo Leopold, who greatly influenced him, Krutch believed that human beings must move beyond purely human centered conceptions of "conservation" and learn to value nature for its own sake. Krutch developed a pantheistic philosophy Historian Donald Worster commented that Krutch "became a kind of pantheist or ethical mystic, caught up in the joy of belonging to something greater than one's self."
