false 111982 1 This classic text of environmental advocacy explores the philosophical issues of what makes the wilderness "wild," and suggests what we must do to keep it that way. Without some management, the world's wilderness cannot survive the number of people who seek to enjoy it. But with too much management, or the wrong kind, we will destroy the spiritual component of "wildness" in our zeal to preserve its physical side. With humor and insight, the Watermans look beyond the ecology of the backcountry to explore the factors that make it wild and consider the most difficult wilderness management issues facing us today. The huge increase in the popularity of recreational hiking and camping since the original publication of this book makes its message even more relevant today and its potential audience even larger. 107837 6 1993 Wilderness Ethics: Preserving the Spirit of Wildness, Special Edition, with an Appreciation of Guy Waterman total:3|5:3| 3 15 6 0 0 0 false false Wed Oct 14 12:08:54 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 12:08:54 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Aug 21 20:28:31 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 23:38:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 19 09:56:51 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 09:56:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 08 13:02:48 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 13:02:48 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Thu Mar 13 08:19:14 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 13 08:19:58 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Mar 26 10:52:15 -0700 2007 Mon Mar 26 10:52:15 -0700 2007
