Edward Abbey - "Desert Solitare"
I've read everything Edward Abbey published. Feel like I know him. Thanks to the Web, I just watched this video and heard his voice for the first time today.
Writing is like magic. Words can take you places only your mind can reach. Edward Abbey went from nature lover to eco-warrior in the zigzags his life took. You can feel his love of nature and all it gave him in his early works. You can feel his pain in his later works, like the Monkey Wrench Gang.
Something special, something that shook me rang true throughout his writing. You get a sense of Abbey in this video. The best thing you can do to get to know him is start at the first of his books and read through them. They all stand on their own merit, though. So, if you want pure love of Nature, start with Desert Solitare.
If you want to be incented to activism, try the The Monkey Wrench Gang.
Enjoy!

Hi Mike,
I just finished Atmospheric Disturbances,. What is real and what is only what we preceive.? Many worlds, and many time frames, and much left to the imagination. Lois

Albert Eisentraut acquired an appreciation of hand built bicycles at the elbow of legendary Paramount maker Oscar Wastyn in Chicago, and Albert, in many ways, is the dean of modern (post Korean War) USA custom frame builders. His frames, especially the famous "Model A" frames of the 1960s and 70s, had a special sculptural aesthetic and unorthodoxy in their shaping.
