title: Words for the Wild: The Sierra Club Trailside Reader
author: Sierra Club
description: In this eclectic collection of some of the best-known as well as some less-known nature writers, editor Ronald provides readers with selections to suit nearly every taste. Beginning with Emerson and Thoreau and concluding with Annie Dillard and Barry Lopez, Ronald, professor of American literature at the University of Nevada at Reno, has chosen many gems. She opens the book with a short introduction, prefaces each major part with an essay, and provides a short biographical sketch of the author before each selection. Designed to be easily carried along in a backpack, this book should provide enjoyment for all who like to wander in the wild. Randy Dykhuis, Grace A.
