In his enthusiastic explorations and fervent writing, Michael J.
Yochim "was to Yellowstone what Muir was to Yosemite. . . . Other
times, his writing is like that of Edward Abbey, full of passion
for the natural world and anger at those who are abusing it,"
writes foreword contributor William R. Lowry. In 2013 Yochim was
diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). While fighting the
disease, he wrote Requiem for America's Best Idea. The book
establishes a unique parallel between Yochim's personal struggle
with a terminal illness and the impact climate change is having on
the national parks--the treasured wilderness that he loved and to
which he dedicated his life. Yochim explains how climate change is
already impacting the vegetation, wildlife, and the natural
conditions in Olympic, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, and
Yosemite National Parks. A poignant and thought-provoking work,
Requiem for America's Best Idea investigates the interactions
between people and nature and the world that can inspire and
destroy them.
