Description
This collection gathers ten essays, articles, and lectures that lead readers beyond cities and highways into the stark, beautiful wilderness of the American West, from the deserts of Mexico to Alaska’s Brooks Range. With characteristic humor, bluntness, and lyrical attention to canyons, rivers, wildlife, and remote landscapes, Abbey recounts journeys through rugged country while confronting pollution, industrial tourism, and the relentless development of public lands. Passionate, irreverent, and deeply attentive to the natural world, these pieces form both an adventure narrative and a fierce defense of wilderness. Beyond the Wall captures Abbey’s enduring call to experience wild places firsthand—and to protect them before they disappear.
