Roderick Nash's classic study of changing attitudes toward wilderness during American history, as well as the origins of the environmental and conservation movements, has received wide acclaim since its initial publication in 1967. The Los Angeles Times listed it among the one hundred most influential books published in the last quarter century and Outside Magazine included it in a survey of "books that changed our world." In this fifth edition, Nash offers a Preface and Epilogue that bring Wilderness and the American Mind into dialogue with contemporary debates about wilderness.
In addition, Char Miller's new Foreword provides a twenty-first-century perspective on how the environmental movement has changed since 1967, including the ways in which contemporary scholars are reimagining the dynamic relationship between the natural world and the built environment.
