Idioma/Language: Español. Tras el nombre de John Muir, poco conocido en España, se esconde la figura del más famoso e influyente naturalista y ambientalista de los Estados Unidos. Considerado como el «padre del sistema de parques nacionales», inspiró la proclamación en 1890 del Parque Nacional de Yosemite, y fundó Sierra Club, una de las primeras organizaciones conservacionistas en el mundo. Sus viajes y su obra, que consta de más de 300 artículos y 10 libros, sirvió de base a los más destacados políticos de la época entre ellos el Presidente Theodore Roosevelt, para la elaboración de sus proyectos pioneros para la defensa de la naturaleza. Viajes por Alaska , obra en la que John Muir se encontraba trabajando cuando murió, se basa en diarios que escribió durante sus visitas a Alaska en 1879, 1880, 1881, 1890 y 1899. Desde el momento en el que embarcó en San Francisco, en mayo de 1879, «camino de la helada Alaska», Muir se dio cuenta de que se encontraba ante una aventura extraordinaria. A pie, en canoa o con trineo, se apasionaba con todo lo que iba descubriendo, ya fueran flores, aves o árboles, o la espectacular Glacier Bay, y todo lo describe con singular maestría. También relata experiencias tan angustiosas como el rescate de un compañero accidentado en lo alto del monte Glenora o los escalofriantes momentos que vivió a punto de morir triturado entre paredones de hielo mientras navegaba entre icebergs. Viajes por Alaska termina con la vívida descripción de Muir dedicada a la «suprema, serena y celestial belleza» de las auroras, que observó durante su penúltimo viaje, en 1890. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente. No aceptamos pedidos con destino a Ceuta y Melilla.…
