The late author's reflections transcend the mere genre of the environmental essay. This collection of meditations by then park ranger Abbey in what was Arches National Monument of the 1950s was quietly published in the raucous sixties in a first edition of 5,000 copies, and has now gone on to sell almost two million copies taking its rightful place alongside Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac and Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, as an environmental and wilderness classic. The author's fourth book and his first work of nonfiction. Eight lines of text in blue ink and signed Ed A. Signed holographic letter from Abbey laid in. In a dust jacket, with subtle rubbing and chipping to the extremities. Blind ownership embossment in lower right corner of title page. Small bookstore sticker at head of front flap.
