About This Item
University of Washington Press, 2002. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 100x20x156. A short tear to dustjacket. A short tear to dustjacket. Sutter investigated how a nation founded on antipathy for the wilderness had come to cherish and protect it less than two centuries later. He found the conventional answers convincing but insufficient. Digging deeper, he noticed how early calls for wilderness preservation condemned automobiles, roads, and the US government's eagerness to modernize and mechanize roadless areas. Here, he says, is where the modern wilderness movement was ignited.
