- ...conservationists will find powerful affirmation here...—Down East Magazine Featured on Boston’s WDVB TV Chronicle
Nearly forty writers, artists, and photographers in this extraordinary collection raise their voices for wilderness. They bear witness to the central role it plays in Maine, its importance to our understanding of nature, to our sense of who we are in the world, to our very souls, if you will. And some of them devote practical thinking to how we might recover and nurture wilderness in the future.
At this time of major changes in land ownership in the north woods and of development pressures and sprawl threatening the rural landscape of southern and central Maine, these voices for wilderness-Phyllis Austin, Chris Ayres, Kate Barnes, Franklin Burroughs, Dean Bennett, Margaret Campbell, Robert M. Chute, John Cole, Alexandra S. B. Conover, Garrett Conover, Bob Cummings, Bill Curtsinger, Charles FitzGerald, Frank Graham, Jr., Bernd Heinrich, J. Thomas R. Higgins, Malcolm L. Hunter, Jr., Christopher Huntington, Lloyd C. Irland, Robert Kimber, Mitch Lansky, Gary Lawless, Jon Lund, Jon Luoma, Bunny McBride, John McKeith, Scott Perry, Marguerite Robichaux, Neil Rolde, Jym St. Pierre, Robert Shetterly, Susan Hand Shetterly, Greg Shute, Bill Silliker, Jr., Jerry Stelmok, Karin Tilberg, D. D. Tyler, Neil Welliver, and Kent W. Wommack-could not be more relevant.
