Book Summary
“This literary collection of outdoor writing by women will pull the readers from their armchairs and propel them up mountain sides, carry them deep under the sea, and take them down paths lined with memory, desire and the spirit of adventure. Whether they are scaling Denali or mountain biking over the hills of Marin, California, the voices in Another Wilderness describe (through both hair-raising stories and meditative essays) their physical, spiritual and transformative relationship to outdoor life. Fresh and original work by well-known writers and talented new voices, Another Wilderness is a collection sure to become a landmark in outdoor literature. -- Midwest Book Review”Contents Sample
