Desert Solitaire book
Finding abundance in the desert.
"Desert Solitaire" is based on Abbey's experience as a park ranger at Arches National Monument, and has since become an iconic work of autobiographical nature writing as well as a staple of early environmentalism. Although written as memoir, it's more of a based-on-a-true-story look at his life, but the observations and tensions between humans and the desert environment hold true to this day, and have informed a long lineage of writers and explorers alike.
