"Mountain Time, a thoughtful and often moving work, is not only about Yellowstone as a superb sample of American wildness, . . . but also about a man named Paul Schullery and his relationship to it. This fact gives the book much richness and power, for Schullery comes across clearly as a caring, observant, undogmatic person whose reasonable and intelligent opinions are reinforced by plenty of facts. In a certain mood, it is possible to wish (vainly) that people of his civilized caliber were the only ones allowed to open their mouths very widely on any subject that really matters, as Yellowstone definitely does."--John Graves, author of Goodbye to a River and From a Limestone Lodge "Paul has pushed outdoor writing to new limits. I pay him the highest compliment I can: I wish I had written Mountain Time."--Lionel Atwill, Sports Afield Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I love Yellowstone and spent time at most of the places he describes. But there are still new places to explore. And more time. I have never been to the park in winter, and the descriptions of winter trips, sights, and memories were among my favorite in this work.
This book challenges us all to be more than simply tourists running from one point to another. It also encourages us to think more about preserving Yellowstone as an intact ecosystem. And that means thinking beyond the boundaries of the park itself. It means thinking about how we interact with our natural environment regardless of where we live, at where we are right now.
Put this book next to Desert Solitaire on your bookshelf. Schullery is not as well known as Abbey, but his writing stands with Abbey's and his ideas about Yellowstone and the National Park Service line up well with his more well-known fellow ranger. (
