Selections from John Muir
John Muir, often called the "patron saint of the American wilderness" was a naturalist, author, environmental philosopher and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness. Muir's ideas have been foundational to conservation activism and advocacy in the US. Selections from John Muir is a collection of his writings that invite you to rethink your relationship with nature, gently and with joy.
The collection includes two of Muir's books: A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf and My First Summer in the Sierra, Muir's published journals from walking expeditions across the United States in the 1860s. These books are more than just travelogues; they are profound meditations on humanity's place in the natural world. Together, they invite readers to experience the wonder of the wilderness and to consider their role in protecting it.
A present-day climate change activist meets America's first environmentalist. Writer and climate activist Bill McKibben was in his mid-twenties when he first discovered Muir. After finishing 5 years writing for The New Yorker, he had moved to the mountains. The ideas in Muir's writings fundamentally changed McKibben's approach to the natural world, and his Rebind of John Muir's writings is here to do the same for you.

SNEAK PEEK
Here are some questions McKibben will invite you to ponder while reading Selections from John Muir:
- In his travels thus far, Muir has encountered a variety of natural and human phenomena. Interestingly, his quest for solitude in nature often begins with interactions with others. Do you believe that companionship is necessary to fully learn how to be alone?
- What relationship does Muir see between satisfying basic human needs and the ability to experience joy? What relationship between these things do you see?
“It was Muir's New Gospel that really hit me hard. The sense that we will encounter over and over in his writing is that the world was not built for man, but was sufficient, glorious on its own terms, quite aside from its utility.”
