He has also edited the complete works of John Muir. Klappentext The mountain environment provides a common ground for the diverse modes of engagement and mediation. By attempting to understand the meaning of Muir's assertion that ""going to the mountains is going home,"" the author points us toward a practice of integrated reading, scholarship, teaching, and writing that is adequate to our environmental crisis. Zusammenfassung Advancing for the first time the concept of "post-pastoral practice,"Reconnecting with John Muir springs from Terry Gifford's understanding of the great naturalist as an exemplar of integrated, environmentally conscious knowing and writing.
