A Wind-Storm In The Forests (American Roots)

The nature writings of pioneering environmentalist and Sierra Club founder John Muir are like no other. In this essay from 1894, Muir describes the grandeur of the winds at play in the forests, with stunning and musical detail about the trees of the Sierra and their individual reaction to the wind. Muir's story of climbing a 100-foot Douglas Spruce to experience the sway and swirl of a storm for himself is unforgettable. This short work is part of Applewood's "American Roots," series, tactile mementos of American passions by some of America's most famous writers. 9781429096140 1429096144 0 Nature NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=NBLDoQEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
