| Zusammenfassung: | "Soon after her fiftieth birthday, Melissa Walker set out on a journey that many women of her generation have mapped only in their dreams. Having spent her adult life raising children and climbing the academic ladder, Walker decided to put some of the environmental theories she'd taught into practice. Leaving her suburban life, she ventured into the wilderness." "Like many American chroniclers before her who have surrendered to the aimless pleasures of the road, Walker had no geographical destination in mind, but she did have two definite goals - one personal, one political - for her journey. She was looking for the peace and solitude of the back-country, certainly, but she also wanted to learn the dynamics of preserving wild places and to devote herself to that cause." "Walker took off on three extended solitary trips over the next two years, establishing a way of life for herself that continues to this day. In the Sky Islands of southern Arizona, on the banks of the Popo Agie River and the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming, in Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Rocky Mountain, and Olympic National Park, in Gila and Glacier Peak Wilderness, she encountered the hazards of wild animals and extreme weather, and she began to reassess what parts of her life she could control. Her belief in the primacy of individual achievement changed as she confronted the hidden structures of life. And her understanding of her environment broadened when in addition to grizzly bears, bighorn sheep, and mountain lions, she also met ranchers, loggers, cowboys, and outfitters whose livelihoods depend on activities that may threaten wilderness."--Jacket |

Charlottesville : University of Virginia Press, 2002. 1 online resource (xv, 304 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier "Soon after her fiftieth birthday, Melissa Walker set out on a journey that many women of her generation have mapped only in their dreams. Having spent her adult life raising children and climbing the academic ladder, Walker decided to put some of the environmental theories she'd taught into practice. Leaving her suburban life, she ventured into the wilderness." "Like many American chroniclers before her who have surrendered to the aimless pleasures of the road, Walker had no geographical destination in mind, but she did have two definite goals - one personal, one political - for her journey. She was looking for the peace and solitude of the back-country, certainly, but she also wanted to learn the dynamics of preserving wild places and to devote herself to that cause." "Walker took off on three extended solitary trips over the next two years, establishing a way of life for herself that continues to this day. In the Sky Islands of southern Arizona, on the banks of the Popo Agie River and the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming, in Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Rocky Mountain, and Olympic National Park, in Gila and Glacier Peak Wilderness, she encountered the hazards of wild animals and extreme weather, and she began to reassess what parts of her life she could control. Her belief in the primacy of individual achievement changed as she confronted the hidden structures of life. And her understanding of her environment broadened when in addition to grizzly bears, bighorn sheep, and mountain lions, she also met ranchers, loggers, cowboys, and outfitters whose livelihoods depend on activities that may threaten wilderness."--Jacket Beginnings -- Hurry Sickness 3 -- Home 14 -- Rock Springs 20 -- Guns, Bears, and Jumper Cables 25 -- August 1993 from Home to Wilderness -- Alone in the Dark 33 -- Cows in the Wilderness 40 -- Home on the Range 52 -- Golden 58 -- Kill You, Eat You, Too 62 -- Lion 69 -- Holden Village 79 -- Bear Poachers and Mushroom Wars 92 -- Canyons and Slickrock 102 -- Death in the Navajo Nation 115 -- This Is Texas 121 -- Settling In 135 -- Shopping 141 -- February 1994 Wild Florida -- A Long Road 147 -- Eco Pond 156 -- Mosquitoes 159 -- The White Heron 161 -- The Next Fifty-two Years 167 -- Voices 173 -- August 1994 Back to the Wild -- Free Rein 181 -- Hogs in the Wilderness 185 -- Black Elk 194 -- Donna 201 -- Paradise 218 -- Anger and Alpenglow 228 -- Drawn to Alaska 236 -- The Inside Passage 242 -- Juneau 249 -- Haines 252 -- Socked In, Stood Up, and Stranded 261 -- You Have to Ask 265 -- Reprieve 270 -- The Man-Woman Thing 279 -- Can't Be Sure 287 -- Talking to the Thunder Gods 294.
