Cult-favorite nature writer Daniel Duane shares about climbing and the double-sided coin of legacy and preservation in conversation with James Workman, author of natural resources resilience strategies. Duane’s childhood was filled with backpacking, skiing, and climbing. John Muir was his hero, and Yosemite National Park was his paradise. But deeper study forced him to confront the nuanced history of both–including Muir’s Victorian worldview and the white supremacy, cultural theft, and governmental overreach that shaped the history of this California wilderness. With wry humor, Duane builds on his previous six books with a playful, moving memoir that reckons with these legacies.
