Guest Post by Ernest Marshall
I recently contributed book reviews for the authors Ernest Thompson Seton and Henry David Thoreau, “classic” nature writers in the tradition of William Bartram,
John Muir, and Aldo Leopold, who explore and extol the value of wildness or nature “in the raw."
But what about a viewpoint of 21st
century America, where we mostly abide in cities and subdivisions in a
world of 7 billion-and-growing people and nature has to jostle for its
bit of residual space?
