Book review: Yosemite Meditations for Adventurers

Book review: Yosemite Meditations for Adventurers by Michael Frye and Claudia Welsh

It's been said by countless authors that many Americans consider the wilderness a retreat from the tensions of civilization.  To those who venture into its inner sanctum, wilderness provides a testing place, a vanishing frontier where men and women can rediscover their inner grit.  To many, the wilderness offers an almost holy source of self-discovery and spiritual renewal. 

This much remains certain—the definitive lesson that the Natural World teaches: humanity's fate links indivisibly with Nature as well as all other creatures upon this green globe hurtling through the ink-black of space.

America's first naturalist John Muir said, "When you pick up anything, you realize it's hitched to the rest of the universe."

Epic wilderness photographer Michael Frye and writer Claudia Welsh created a book for every adventurer and armchair traveler who ever stepped into the wildness of Mother Nature's kingdom.  Frye captures astounding images of Yosemite National Park's enchanted seasons.  Welsh discovered noble adventurers, both men and women, past and present, who write riveting prose to match Frye's genius with the camera lens.

Their collaboration equates to the most inspiring photographic genius I have ever set my eyes upon.  Welsh matched Frye's camera virtuoso with spellbinding prose from Roosevelt, Muir, Rowell, Sontag, Abbey, Thoreau, Emerson and so many more.  For you the reader, cherish this book that will find its way onto your coffee table, kitchen table and nightstand.  Enjoy it for inspiration, wonder and a sense that you, too, entered Yosemite to see the magic firsthand. Every teenager, 20-something all the way to senior citizens will find this book captivating and inspiring.  While reading this book time and time again, you hear the heartbeat of the universe.
