Wilderness Forever Howard Zahniser and the Path to the Wilderness Act

As a central figure in the American wilderness preservation movement in the mid-twentieth century, Howard Zahniser (1906-1964) was the person most responsible for the landmark Wilderness Act of 1964, which included his eloquent definition of wilderness: an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain. In this deeply researched and affectionate portrait, Mark Harvey brings to life this great leader of environmental activism.Harvey, Mark is the author of 'Wilderness Forever Howard Zahniser and the Path to the Wilderness Act', published 2007 under ISBN 9780295987071 and ISBN 0295987073.
