Negative Positive
Title: This book should be required reading
Review: Part-polemical essay on conservation, part-journal of his experiences as a park ranger in Arches Monument National Park, Abbey writes with sparse, beautiful descriptions and expounds upon his ideas for conservation of our national parks. His ideas are fascinating, and as more and more of our national parks and monuments are paved to make them user-friendly, Abbey's book becomes more and more important, especially in light of our current administration's (lousy) attitude regarding the environment. It's not the fastest read, but it should be required reading of all high-school students before they're released into the world.
