In this publication, journalist
and adventurer Jason Mark travels beyond the bright lights and certainties of
our cities to seek wildness wherever it survives. In California's Point Reyes
National Seashore, a battle over oyster farming and designated wilderness pits
former allies against one another, as locals wonder whether wilderness should
be untouched, farmed, or something in between. In Washington's Cascade
Mountains, a modern-day wild woman and her students learn to tan hides and
start fires without matches, attempting to connect with a primal past out of
reach for the rest of society. And in Colorado's High Country, dark skies and
clear air reveal a breathtaking expanse of stars, flawed only by the arc of a
satellite passing-beauty interrupted by the traffic of a million conversations.
These expeditions to the edges of civilization's grid show us that, although
our notions of pristine nature may be shattering, the mystery of the wild still
exists-and in fact, it is more crucial than ever.
