Wild Nevada

Wild Nevada: Testimonies On Behalf of the Desert by Roberta Moore and Scott Slovic

"For many people, Nevada is no more than either the nation's desert dumping ground or a hedonistic center of gambling and entertainment. This misconception belies the extraordinary beauty of the state's wilderness areas and the precious natural, aesthetic, and cultural resources found there. Wild Nevada assembles twenty-nine writers who know and love the Nevada wilderness to testify on its behalf. Contributors included literary artists, scholars, environmental and community activists, politicians, ranchers, scientists, and park rangers, who despite their eclectic backgrounds and their devotion to the ecological and aesthetic values of Nevada's threatened wilderness areas and in their belief in the critical role that wild places play in enhancing our human lives and spirit. Their comments offer inspiring, thought-provoking insight into the vital importance of Nevada's backcountry."
