A Passion for Nature: The Life of John Muir

A Most Excellent Biography

By Dag Stomberg, St. Andrews, Scotland

This biography of John Muir begins in Scotland, carries us through his
early years in Wisconsin, to his pilgrimage to California and beyond.

An explanation of his Philosophy is well done.

Fundamental reading for all of us who have a passion for nature.

The Bibliography to this book is superb.

If you have a Passion for Nature- a must read

If you are a nature enthusiast, and are aware of all the good that John Muir did for our natural parks and forests, you will love this book. I became interested in Muir after a summer trip to Yosemite National Park. Makes you realize even more how vulnerable our natural resources are to big industry and those who are just interested in making money at all costs. We came close to losing our gentle giants, the Sequoias, to the lumber companies. But through government intervention and protection they are still there for all to see. It is written nicely and reads well even though it is non-fiction.
