लेखक के बारे में
John Muir (1838–1914) was a Scottish-American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher, and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States. His writings and activism were influential in the development of the modern environmental movement, and he is often called the ‘Father of the National Parks.’ Muir’s deep connection with nature was formed in his youth while exploring the rural Scottish countryside. After immigrating to the United States, his profound experiences in the Sierra Nevada mountain range and Yosemite Valley instilled in him a passion for wilderness preservation. His efforts led to the establishment of Yosemite National Park and several other national parks. As a prolific author, Muir penned numerous articles and books about nature and his adventures. One such notable work is ‘Alaska Days with John Muir: 4 Books in One Volume, ‘ which is a collection of writings encapsulating his experiences and insights from his travels in Alaska. Through his eloquent narrative and advocacy, Muir’s literary work, characterized by its lyrical style and keen observations, has continued to inspire environmentalists and nature lovers. His legacy is preserved through the Sierra Club, an environmental organization Muir founded, which carries on his mission of wilderness conservation and education.
