Author Edward Abbey (1927-1989) led a life of unwavering environmentalism, and wrote often about his experiences in the arid southwestern U.S., including his exploration of the Colorado plateau in 1968’s Desert Solitaire. The book was informed by his experience as a park ranger at Arches National Park in Utah, where Abbey experienced firsthand the deleterious effects of human activity and “industrial tourism” on the natural landscape.
