Just thirty years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson took pen in hand and signed the Wilderness Act, establishing that land would be set aside for the use and enjoyment of the American people as "wilderness." Now, in the mid 1990s, more than 100 million acres of wilderness have been protected within national parks, national forests, and wildlife refuges - all made possible by the Wilderness Act. Nevertheless, an equal number of acres on the continent remain to be protected, and the essays in this book may help to explain why. All of them were published over the last thirteen years in Wilderness, the quarterly magazine of The Wilderness Society, in an attempt to illuminate the role of wilderness in American life. The essays represent, according to the editors, "the best conservation writing in recent years," and serve as a "literary primer for a new age of preservation."

John Muir was one of our first and finest writers on the wilderness of the American West. Part of Muir's attractiveness to modern readers is the fact that he was an activist. He not only explored the West and wrote about its beauties-- he fought for their preservation. His successes dot the landscape in all the natural features that bear his name: forests, lakes, trails, glaciers. Here collected are some of his finest wilderness essays, ranging from Alaska to Yellowstone, from Oregon to the Range of Light-- the High Sierra.

This celebratory volume in honour of Frances Young draws on and develops the multifarious hermeneutical interests evident in the body of her work. Its overall thematic motif, to highlight concerns which impacted on her work, is the symbolic use of 'wilderness.' This multi-disciplinary volume begins with an in-depth analysis of her work by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams. The first part of the volume has biblical and early Christian literature as the focus, and deals with, among other topics, Jesus' encounter with people of impairment, biblical figures such as Miriam, gospel portrayals of mountains, experience of wilderness in the lives of Maori and Jewish people, the temptation of Jesus as interpreted at different times, and the redefinition of asceticism in Syrian Christianity. The second part of the volume addresses theological concerns, with essays which advocate wisdom as a potential mode for doing theology, engage with the radical Christian writings of 17th and 18th centuries, revisit the problem of sin, highlight the latent Christological motifs in the novels of Tolkien, and draw attention to the significance of the Quranic Jesus.
