Wilderness
Vance Martin, Editor Paperback, Table of Contents, Additional Material on the Congress, 215 pages, 1982.
Why do we need wilderness on our planet? And if we do need it, how do we keep it wild? These were the questions discussed at the 1980 World Wilderness Conference in Australia, and Vance Martin has edited the most important contributions to this conference into a continuous text which examines the interplay of the scientific, ecological, social, cultural, and spiritual aspects of our world’s wild places. Contributions include many well-known scientists and environmentalists, including Laurens van der Post, Jean Dorst, Ian Player, Madame Laurence de Bonneval, Geoff Mosley and Ray Arnett. Eight pages of color and over seventy black and white photographs complement the text.
