[Cohen's] oft unanswered, and unanswerable, questions, his views of Muir's spiritual, intellectual, and political growth are insightful, challenging, and new. They deserve an audience with scholars and Muir devotees.\"--Shirley Sargent, Pacific Historian \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this powerful study, Michael Cohen captures as never before the powerful consciousness, vision, and legacy of the pioneering environmentalist John Muir. Ultimately, Cohen stresses, this ecological consciousness would generate an ecological conscience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt was no longer enough for Muir to individually test and celebrate his enlightenment in the wild. His vision, he now felt, must lead to concrete action, and the result was a protracted campaign that stressed the ecological education of the American public, governmental protection of natural resources, the establishment of the National Parks, and the encouragement of tourism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnyone interested in environmental studies, in American history and literature, or in the future of our natural heritage will be drawn by the very bracing flavor of his wilderness odyssey, evoked here by one of his own--a twentieth-century mountaineer and literary craftsman.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Cohen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299097242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299097240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.02w x 1.03d","brand":"Michael Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47135229051135,"sku":"9780299097240","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_240f3912-b895-4f06-ad4f-5cd448130f80.jpg?v=1755009518","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pathless-way-michael-cohen-9780299097240","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
