Book excerpt: Into the Wild meets Helter Skelter in this riveting true story of a modern-day homesteading family in the deepest reaches of the Alaskan wilderness—and of the chilling secrets of its maniacal, spellbinding patriarch. When Papa Pilgrim, his wife, and their fifteen children appeared in the Alaska frontier outpost of McCarthy, their new neighbors saw them as a shining example of the homespun Christian ideal. But behind the family's proud piety and beautiful old-timey music lay Pilgrim's dark past: his strange connection to the Kennedy assassination and a trail of chaos and anguish that followed him from Dallas and New Mexico. Pilgrim soon sparked a tense confrontation with the National Park Service fiercely dividing the community over where a citizen’s rights end and the government’s power begins. As the battle grew more intense, the turmoil in his brood made it increasingly difficult to tell whether his children were messianic followers or hostages in desperate need of rescue. In this powerful piece of Americana, written with uncommon grace and high drama, veteran Alaska journalist, Tom Kizzia uses his unparalleled access to capture an era-defining clash between environmentalists and pioneers ignited by a mesmerizing sociopath who held a town and a family captive.

Download or read book Wilderness Tales written by Diana Fuss and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling collection of short stories about North American outdoor life—both classic and contemporary—from James Fenimore Cooper and Jack London to Margaret Atwood and Anthony Doerr and many more. The North American landscape, in its rich and rugged variety, has inspired an equally wide and deep range of fiction over the past centuries. Diana Fuss has gathered a rich collection of timeless classics and contemporary discoveries summoning up our close and imagined encounters with all things wild. From the nineteenth century’s Washington Irving (“Rip Van Winkle”) to the twenty-first century’s Ted Chiang (“The Great Silence”)—a panoramic view of wilderness fiction, from Gothic tales of mystery and suspense (“The Heroic Slave” by Frederick Douglass), to tales of danger and survival (“Walking Out” by David Quammen); from modern tales of retreat and solitude (“Happiness” by Ron Carlson), to never-before-told tales of our new reality—of environment and extinction (“the river” by adrienne maree brown): these are stories that reveal the many ways in which the American literary landscape has shaped—and is shaped by—our conceptions of the wild. Diana Fuss nimbly shows, in her introductory text and commentary throughout, the development of the wilderness story, from its emergence in the work of Nathaniel Hawthorne (“Young Goodman Brown”) and James Fenimore Cooper (“A Panther Tale”), to the height of its popularity in the stories of Jack London (“To Build a Fire”), to the environmentally conscious writing of T. C. Boyle (“After the Plague”) and Karen Russell (“St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves”). Among those whose work appears in the collection: Wallace Stegner, Annie Proulx, Ambrose Bierce, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, L. Frank Baum, Margaret Atwood, Tommy Orange, Walter Van Tilburg Clark, and Ray Bradbury.

Book Synopsis Rethinking Wilderness by : Mark Woods
Download or read book Rethinking Wilderness written by Mark Woods and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2017-07-30 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept and values of wilderness, along with the practice of wilderness preservation, have been under attack for the past several decades. In Rethinking Wilderness, Mark Woods responds to seven prominent anti-wilderness arguments. Woods offers a rethinking of the received concept of wilderness, developing a positive account of wilderness as a significant location for the other-than-human value-adding properties of naturalness, wildness, and freedom. Interdisciplinary in approach, the book combines environmental philosophy, environmental history, environmental social sciences, the science of ecology, and the science of conservation biology.

Book Synopsis From a Wilderness by : James D. Cary
Download or read book From a Wilderness written by James D. Cary and published by . This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birth of a nation. Growth of a nation. "From a Wilderness" is an anthology of four adventure novels rooted in a carefully researched history of the times. The first story begins at Jamestown as a man named Jonathan Strong watches with fascination as a cartwheeling Pocahontas leads a troop of English boys gleefully imitating her. In the second story, the setting shifts from Virginia to another place where newly arrived Europeans struggled against unforgiving terrain: the New England of the Puritans. It draws up a vivid reminder of the imprint that the Puritans stamped onto the American character. Next is an unexpectedly fascinating story that traces the profound influence of Adam Smith's role in molding the American economy and its values. And finally, the fourth novel is the story of the greatest real estate transaction in history, the Louisiana Purchase, told through the lives of two brothers whose clash could decide the fate of the young United States of America. For lovers of history, "From a Wilderness "will be an irresistible delight, a carefully researched saga that gives detail and color to the defining moments of a nation coming to be. For anyone who loves a great story, these four tales bring you into the world of man against environment, life in the frontier, noblemen, "savages," intrepid explorers, braggarts, liars, cowards, cowboys and Indians, good guys and bad guys, and a whole passel of ordinary guys.
Book Synopsis The Wilderness Debate Rages on by : Michael P. Nelson
Download or read book The Wilderness Debate Rages on written by Michael P. Nelson and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 1488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years ago, The Great New Wilderness Debate began a cross-disciplinary conversation about the varied constructions of "wilderness" and the controversies that surround them. The Wilderness Debate Rages On will reinvigorate that conversation and usher in a second decade of debate. Like its predecessor, the book gathers both critiques and defenses of the idea of wilderness from a wide variety of perspectives and voices. The Wilderness Debate Rages On includes the best explorations of the concept of the concept of wilderness from the past decade, underappreciated essays from the early twentieth century that offer an alternative vision of the concept and importance of wilderness, and writings meant to clarify or help us rethink the concept of wilderness. Narrative writers such as Wendell Berry, Scott Russell Sanders, Marilynne Robinson, Kathleen Dean Moore, and Lynn Maria Laitala are also given a voice in order to show how the wilderness debate is expanding outside the academy. The writers represented in the anthology include ecologists, environmental philosophers, conservation biologists, cultural geographers, and environmental activists. The book begins with little-known papers by early twentieth-century ecologists advocating the preservation of natural areas for scientific study, not, as did Thoreau, Muir, and the early Leopold, for purposes of outdoor recreation. The editors argue that had these writers influenced the eventual development of federal wilderness policy, our national wilderness system would better serve contemporary conservation priorities for representative ecosystems and biodiversity.
