  A galvanizing road trip across California's immense public wilderness from a beloved adventurer. 
   
   
   
  It all began with a camping trip. Outdoor enthusiast Josh Jackson had never heard of "BLM land" before a casual recommendation from a friend led him to a free campsite in the desert—and the revelation that over fifteen million acres of land in California are owned collectively by the people. In The Enduring Wild, he takes us on a road trip spanning thousands of miles, crisscrossing the Golden State to seek out every parcel of public wilderness therein belonging to the federal Bureau of Land Management, from the Pacific shores of the King Range down to the Mojave Desert. Over mountains, across prairies, and through sagebrush, Jackson unravels the stories of these lands. He tells of the Indigenous peoples who have called them home for millennia, of the extractivist threats that imperil them today, and of the grassroots organizers and political champions who have rallied to their common defense to uphold the radical mandate to protect these natural treasures for generations to come. For the adventurers, campers, explorers, map readers, road trippers, nature enthusiasts, and public lands lovers out there, The Enduring Wild is an indispensable invitation to know these places more deeply and to embrace our common inheritance.

  Walking

  Henry David Thoreau

  Henry David Thoreau’s Walking is a profound meditation on nature, freedom, and self-discovery. Originally published in 1862, this classic essay explores the philosophy of walking as both a physical and spiritual act, emphasizing the importance of immersing oneself in the wild, untamed beauty of the natural world. Thoreau argues that walking is not merely a pastime but a way to achieve a deeper connection with the land, free from societal constraints and distractions. 
  Narrated by Declan McHugh, this audiobook brings Thoreau’s lyrical prose to life, guiding listeners through his reflections on wilderness, solitude, and personal growth. His insights remain as relevant today as they were in the 19th century, inspiring modern readers to step away from the noise of civilization and embrace the tranquility of nature. 
  An essential work for lovers of philosophy, nature writing, and transcendentalist thought, Walking is a timeless call to slow down, wander, and rediscover the world beyond paved roads and crowded cities.
