An Unspoken Hunger: Stories from the Field

by Terry Tempest Williams · 1994

+ Want to read

Williams weaves her observations in the naturalist field and her personal experience—as a woman, a Westerner, and a Mormon—into a resonant manifesto on behalf of the landscapes she loves, making clear as well that, through our disregard of this world, we have lost an essential connection to our deepest selves.
