Part of John Muir's appeal to modern audiences is that he not only explored the American West and wrote about its beauties but also fought for their preservation. His successes dot the landscape and are evident in all the natural features that bear his name: forests, lakes, trails, and glaciers. Here collected are some of Muir's finest wilderness essays, ranging in subject matter from Alaska to Yellowstone, from Oregon to the High Sierra.

Beautiful writing, but fairly shallow narrative

Amazing essays

The essays are inspiring and worthy. The narrator is just ok, could use more inflection with the speed he reads at.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 410
It was June of 1869 when John Muir reluctantly accepted a job herding sheep from the central valley of California to the headwaters of the Merced and Tuolumne Rivers, high into the Sierra Nevadas and deep into the Yosemite region. He felt ill equipped for the work, and yet the opportunity thrilled his adventurous spirit. With a notebook tied to his belt, he set out for a summer he would never forget. My First Summer in the Sierra is Muir’s classic account of that extraordinary journey.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 49
California now has more trees than at any time since the late Pleistocene. This green landscape, however, is not the work of nature. It’s the work of history. In the years after the Gold Rush, American settlers remade the California landscape, harnessing nature to their vision of the good life. Horticulturists, boosters, and civic reformers began to "improve" the bare, brown countryside, planting millions of trees to create groves, wooded suburbs, and landscaped cities.

Wonderful natural and socioeconomic history
Revisado: 05-30-14
Would you listen to Trees in Paradise again? Why?
The book is jam packed with amazing content and history that it is a must to listen again and again for thorough enjoyment.
Any additional comments?
The organization and foundation of the book are thoughtfully appropriate. Farmer presents a perfect balance in storytelling between the natural history of trees and it's socioeconomic one-ness with the vastness of the great state of California.

Yoga's popularity is soaring, but its widespread acceptance as an exercise for physical fitness and the recognition of its health benefits have not been matched by an understanding of the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development that the yogic tradition can also offer. In Light on Life, B.K.S. Iyengar explains this new and more complete understanding of the yogic journey.

Good Content, Poor Narration
Revisado: 05-30-14
What did you love best about Light on Life?
Iyengar is a master with relaying the nexus between physical, emotional and spiritual health. I enjoyed the way he includes the benefits of yoga to bring our wholeness together.
What didn’t you like about Patricia Walden’s performance?
Patricia Walden never took a breath. There was no inflection in her voice so it sounded monotonous after awhile. I never knew when a sentence, paragraph, or chapter began and ended.
Any additional comments?
The audio begins late, we do not start at the very beginning of the book. Somehow it starts at some midway point....
