WILDLANDS PHILANTHROPY by BUTLER, TOM (Hardcover - 2008) ISBN: 9781601090195 Subject: N\A Publisher: EARTH AWARE EDITIONS Wildlands Philanthropy is a testament to what one person can do to save the Earth’s natural lands. In writing the book, author Tom Butler immersed himself in the creation stories of U.S. parks, refuges, and nature preserves established over the span of a century, finding in these tales of struggle and success both inspiration and a greater appreciation for the way protected areas have enriched the American experience. From a grandmother in Kentucky who saved her family farm to conservationist Congressmen to far-flung beaches and high deserts, the book reminds readers of what John Muir said: “In God's wildness lies the hope of the world — the great fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness.” Stunning photographs and compelling stories come together in this marvelous book, inspiring readers to actively engage in saving the planet, one piece of land at a time. |
