Opis

From his efforts to protect California's wild lands--including the state's majestic redwoods and its dynamic coastline--to his novel ideas about the educational and inspirational value of wilderness that continue to provoke debates to this day, this first biography of John C. Merriam (1869-1945) tells the story of the prominent paleontologist who became a visionary in the American conservation movement.
