Wow! Wilderness touches people in so many diverse ways. Some authors wax lyrical, some may simply describe their personal relationship with the wild, and others approach from a science direction. How a writer gets into the subject is not nearly so important as the fact that all the musings indexed here were written from the heart. We hope you enjoy them.
