A conservationist manifesto by Scott Russell Sanders
Call Number: 333.72 Sa5c

ISBN: 9780253220806

Publication Date: 2009

Ranging geographically from southern Indiana to the Boundary Waters Wilderness and culturally from the Bible to billboards, Sanders extends the visions of Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and Rachel Carson to our own day.

The important message of this book is that conservation is not simply a personal virtue but a public one.--From publisher description.
