wilderness

Here at Island Press, I spend much of my time reading about our authors’ work in wild and remote places from the confines of a desk chair. So last May, I jumped at the chance to venture away from the office on a backpacking trip with Jason Mark, author of Satellites in the High Country, and the winners of our Keep It Wild sweepstakes contest.

Have you heard all the buzz? From reviews in Wall Street Journal to interviews in Men's Journal and National Geographic,

Have humans really tamed every inch of the world? On our overheated and overcrowded planet, are wild places now extinct?
