{"product_id":"9781936249213","title":"To the Wilderness: A Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eTo the Wilderness is the memoir of an outdoorswoman's life in search of the wild. Improvising a canoe route through deep Maine woods, she discovered—a century after Thoreau—not the forest primeval but a commercial forest, B.C. (Before Chainsaw). Later, in the Minnesota-Ontario border waters she found wilderness being loved to death, making the ironic case for management of wild places. Climbing Mount Katahdin in 1947 provided her with a baseline of untrammeled wilderness. But ecstatic moments of union with nature, she discovered, may be inseparable from alienating and even life-threatening encounters. Having grown through innocence to experience, she contemplated the changing attitudes toward the environment in her lifetime and suggested how one person or a nation may live responsibly on the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Delaware Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163343995120,"sku":"9781936249213","price":47.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781936249213_p0.jpg?v=1763657753","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781936249213","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
