Summary:  "Two of the most compelling elements in the narrative of wild America, John Muir and Alaska, combined in a brisk and engaging biography. John Muir was a fascinating man, an inventor, scientist, revolutionary, druid (a modern day Celtic priest), and a shining son of the Scottish Enlightenment. Muir's life evolved from one of outdoor adventure into one of ecological guardianship. He would popularize glaciers unlike anybody else, and be to glaciers what Jacques Cousteau would be to the oceans and Carl Sagan to the stars. How Muir changed our world, advanced the science of glaciology and popularized geology. How he got people out there. How he gave us a new vision of Alaska"--Provided by publisher.
