More description from Ken Sanders:
Desert Solitaire is the author's fourth book and his first work of nonfiction. This collection of meditations by then park ranger Edward Abbey in what was Arches National Monument of the 1950s was quietly published in the raucous sixties in a first edition of 5,000 copies, and has now gone on to sell almost two million copies taking its rightful place alongside Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac and Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, as an environmental and wilderness classic.
