Gary Snyder Religious Essays Editorial Review
Gary Snyder's "The Practice of the Wild" is a thought-provoking book that blends ecology, anthropology, and Zen Buddhism. Snyder, a former logger turned eco-activist and poet, argues for the preservation of nature against the threats of population growth, deforestation, and pollution. His arguments are grounded and well-researched, making it an excellent supplemental reading for educators teaching beat generation literature. Though some of his opinions may come off as "hippie-dippie," they are from the soul and level-headed. A reviewer purchased a used inscribed copy of the book at Powell's, suggesting its continued relevance since its publication in 1990.
