Críticas
oSeeing Things Whole remains current and vibrant. And worth reading.o --Salt Lake Tribune oSeeing Things Whole...celebrates more than just PowellAEs writings. The book offers a look at the extraordinary legacy of a great thinker and reminds us that land and the people who live on it are forever relatd.o --Santa Fe New Mexican oSeeing Things Whole is a long overdue edited collection of PowellAEs writings on his explorations of the Colorado River and Plateau, the arid lands and their settlement, irrigation and institutions in the American West, and the evolution of human species. DeBuysAE introductions and annotations are evenhanded and insightful, and the volume makes a superb companion to WorsterAEs masterful biography.o --Conservation Biography "This is a superb selection of the most important writings of the great American explorer, scientist, and conservationist. Powell's name has often been evoked over the past century, but few people have had access to the full range of his vigorous prose. Now deBuys has given us an exceptionally good introduction to the man, his ideas, and his America."--Donald Worster "author of "A River Running West" "
Reseña del editor
This is an anthology of the major writings of one of the great figures of the 19th Century American West, John Wesley Powell. Powell explored the Colorado River and wrote famously about those explorations. (His writings on that topic are currently available, but all of his other writings are out of print at this time.) This anthology includes some of Powell's adventure writing, but focuses more on his recommendations for the settlement and governance of the West and allocation and conservation of western resources. Seeing Things Whole presents John Wesley Powell in the full diversity of his achievements and interests: continental explorer, scientist, social reformer, and public servant.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
