Wilderness: The Discovery Of A Continent Of Wonder is a non-fiction book written by Rutherford Platt. The book explores the wilderness areas of North America, from the Arctic tundra to the tropical rainforests, and how they have been discovered, explored, and preserved over time. Platt delves into the history of wilderness exploration, from the early expeditions of Lewis and Clark to the modern-day efforts of conservationists and park rangers. The book also examines the ecological importance of wilderness areas, including their role in preserving biodiversity and mitigating climate change. Through vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, Platt paints a picture of the beauty and majesty of North America's wilderness areas and the urgent need to protect them for future generations. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the natural world and the history of conservation in North America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
