Essayist. Preservationist. Mountain man. Inventor. John Muir may be California's best-known icon. A literary naturalist and founder of the Sierra Club and Yosemite National Park, Muir left his legacy on the landscape and on paper. But the celebrity of John Muir does not tell the whole story. In Essential Muir, for the first time, Muir's selected writings include those that show his ecological vision without ignoring his racism, providing a more complete portrait of the man. Taking the best of John Muir's writings on nature and placing them alongside his musings on religion, society, and his fellow humans, Essential Muir asks the reader to consider how these connect, and what that means for Muir's legacy in environmentalism today. Fred D. White's selections from Muir's writings, and his illuminating commentary in his revised introduction, reveal the complex man and writer behind the iconic name.

Operation Moonglow
Teasel Muir-Harmony
A groundbreaking political history of the Apollo program Since July 1969, Neil Armstrong's first step on the Moon has represented the pinnacle of American space exploration and a grand scientific achievement. Yet, as Smithsonian curator Teasel Muir-Harmony argues in Operation Moonglow, its true purpose wasn't advancing science. Rather, it was part of a strategy to build a global coalition in support of the United States. Starting with John F. Kennedy's 1961 decision to send astronauts to the Moon as a mission for freedom over Soviet tyranny, Project Apollo was central to American policy. From that perspective, the critical event wasn't the Moon landing, but the publicity tour that followed, as the Apollo astronauts and Richard Nixon tried to bring the world along on America's adventure. Drawing on a rich array of untapped archives and firsthand accounts by Apollo astronauts, Operation Moonglow paints a riveting picture of geopolitics, propaganda,...
