The Wisdom of John Muir marries the best aspects of a Muir
anthology with the best aspects of a Muir biography. The fact that
it is neither, and yet it is both, distinguishes this book from the
many extant books on John Muir. Building on her lifelong passion
for the work and philosophy of John Muir, author Anne Rowthorn has
created this entirely new treatment for showcasing the great
naturalist's philosophy and writings. By pairing carefully selected
material from various stages of Muir's life, Rowthorn's book
provides a view into the experiences, places, and people that
inspired and informed Muir's words and beliefs. The reader feels
able to join in with Muir's own discoveries and transformations
over the arc of his life. Rowthorn is careful not to overstep her
role: she stands back and lets Muir's words speak for themselves.
