Summary

In "Steep Trails," John Muir offers a captivating exploration of the American wilderness, weaving together personal recollections, philosophical musings, and vivid descriptions of nature's grandeur. His lyrical prose illuminates the intricate beauty of landscapes ranging from the Sierra Nevada to the Canadian Rockies, detailing not only the physical world but also the spiritual connection Muir felt with nature. This work emerges from the rich tradition of American Romanticism, reflecting the transcendental belief in nature's power to enlighten and uplift the human spirit, while also serving as an early advocacy for environmental conservation. John Muir, often hailed as the 'Father of the National Parks,' was profoundly influenced by his extensive travels and deep-rooted appreciation for the natural world. His experiences as a naturalist and activist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries informed his passionate writings. Muir's commitment to preserving the wilderness of America led him to articulate the profound relationship between humans and the environment, making his insights not only personal but also universal. "Steep Trails" is an essential read for anyone captivated by the beauty of nature or interested in environmental conservation. Muir's reflections invite readers to see the world through the eyes of a devoted naturalist, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the wild places we often take for granted.

    The Price of Plenty - A History...

    Ever wondered how “factory farms” came to be, why chicken nuggets were invented, or where the idea of feeding hormones and antibiotics to livestock came from in the first place? 
    The Price of Plenty offers answers that may surprise you, in a compulsively readable and distinctly American tale of abundance, invention, and exceptionalism. 
    Historian Maureen Ogle unfolds the good, the bad, and the ugly behind the nation’s meat-making infrastructure, from colonial cattle wars to the rise of Swift, Armour, and Tyson to today’s alt-cuisine. Tracing consumer desires, profit motives, and policy imperatives, this absorbing narrative shows how an insatiable appetite for meat carved America’s landscape and identity. 
    When white Europeans arrived in North America, the abundance of land enabled meat consumption on a scale unheard of in the Old World. There, an average European was lucky to see meat once a week, while even a poor American consumed about two hundred pounds a year. 
    The panoramic story of how we got from that meat-eater’s paradise to the complexities and contradictions of today is told here through a wide range of sources and records – forming an indispensable guide to the American way of meat and its unexpected consequences.
