| 520 | |a "What do we seek and what do we find when we visit parks and protected areas? How does it change a person, to spend years wandering around rugged, remote wilderness areas? What does it mean, to become so deeply attached to a beautiful, wild place that it becomes part of one's identity? And, conversely, why does it matter if a particular landscape doesn't speak to one's soul? In this combination memoir and scholarly analysis of the psychological and societal dimensions of "place-creation", author Tyra A. Olstad details her experiences working and living in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Denali National Park and Preserve, Adirondack State Park, and Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. Along the way, she explores canyons, climbs mountains, watches clouds, rafts rivers, searches for fossils, protects rare and fragile vegetation, learns and shares local natural and cultural histories, questions perceptions of "wilderness", deepens appreciation for wildness, and reshapes understandings of self and self-in-place. Anyone who has ever felt appreciation for wild places and who wants to think more deeply about individual and societal relationships with American parks and protected areas will find humor, fear, provocation, wonder, awe, and, above all, inspiration in these words and images"-- |c Provided by publisher | ||
