Meer over het boek
This is a fitting centenary celebration of the Sierra Club, founded in 1892 by 27 Californians whose interest lay in wilderness recreation and the protection of the state's mountains. Today the club has 650,000 members concerned about environmental matters worldwide. Tom Turner of the club's legal defense fund gives a lively history of the organization and its ongoing struggle to preserve America's natural heritage. He recalls John Muir, David Brower, the Wilderness Act of 1964, and confrontations with James Watt and the Reagan Administration. The text is accompanied by works of major photographers, such as Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter, Galen Rowell, and Kathleen Norris Cook. ISBN 0-8109-3820-0: $49.50
