Description
Wilderness and the American Mind Fifth Edition by Roderick Frazier Nash is a seminal study of changing attitudes toward wilderness during American history. First published in 1967, this influential work has been widely acclaimed for its insights into the origins of the environmental and conservation movements. The book's impact was recognized by The Los Angeles Times, which listed it among the one hundred most influential books of the last quarter century. It has also been praised as a foundational text for environmentalists, earning it the nickname "Book of Genesis". For the fifth edition, Nash has written new preface and epilogue that engage with contemporary debates about wilderness. A foreword by Char Miller provides a twenty-first-century perspective on how the environmental movement has evolved, including its reimagining of the relationship between nature and human-made environments. This updated edition brings together past and present perspectives to shed light on the enduring significance of wilderness in American culture.
