Summary

The nine captivatingly meditative essays in The Practice of the Wild display the deep understanding and wide erudition of Gary Snyder in the ways of Buddhist belief, wildness, wildlife, and the world. These essays, first published in 1990, stand as the mature centerpiece of Snyders work and thought, and this profound collection is widely accepted as one of the central texts on wilderness and the interaction of nature and culture
