Nature's Beloved Son
Rediscovering John Muir's Botanical Legacy

by Bonnie Gisel
Images by Stephen Joseph



      Edited by Bonnie J. Gisel with images by Stephen Joseph, this is an elegant coffee table book that explores the life of John Muir from his childhood in Scotland and Wisconsin, to his sojourn in Canada, travels in California's Sierra Nevada and his exploration of Alaska.

Photographer Stephen Joseph's prints of Muir's botanical specimens and related correspondence give this special volume a pictorial depth not found in other books about the famed adventurer, writer and environmental advocate. Here is a book to not only read but to treasure and pass down to future generations of the family.
