Abbey, Edward. A Voice Crying in the Wilderness. New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1989.
Dr. Weckler chose this book because:
“I choose this book because, throughout my studies and my career and my daily life, Ed Abbey’s thought provoking words and ideas have remained a constant inspiration to me. Forest ranger, academic, environmentalist, author and hell-raiser extraordinaire, the essence Abbey’s persona can be found in his book. How not to love journal entries like the following selected quotes: ‘Life is cruel? Compared to what?’; ‘If you feel that you’re not ready to die, never fear; nature will give you complete and adequate assistance when the time comes.’”
