Synopsis: The ten captivatingly meditative essays in The Practice of the Wild, including a new, previously unpublished essay, display the deep understanding and wise erudition of Gary Snyder in the ways of Buddhist belief, wildness, wildlife, and the world. Theseessays, first published in 1990, stand as the mature centerpiece of Snyder's work and thought, and this profound collection is widely accepted as one of the central texts on wilderness and the interaction of nature and culture. As the Library Journal affirmed, "This is an important book for anyone interested in the ethical interrelationships of things, places, and people, and it is a book that is not just read but taken in."
