Desert Solitaire

Edward Abbey · 1968

The founding text of American environmental radicalism. Essays about the Utah desert that are both love letters to wilderness and screeds against industrial tourism. Fierce, funny, deliberately antagonistic.

Essays · the Pro canon

The case for it, the case against, and the rest of the canon open with Pro.
