Savage Dreams: A Journey into the Landscape Wars of the American West
"A beautiful, absorbing, tragic book. . . . Rebecca Solnit tells this  story with the passion and clarity it deserves."  --Larry McMurtry"Savage Dreams is about many things: despoliation and restoration,  finding a voice between contemporary noise and silence, making friends and  enemies. Most of all, though, it may be about a journey into history: about how  understanding history and making it are not really very different."  --Greil  Marcus, author of Lipstick Traces"Savage Dreams summons us to the campfires of resistance."  --Mike  Davis, author of City of Quartz"Solnit's intelligent meditations may awaken us from our self- congratulatory coma. [Her] mind is fertile, wide-ranging and capable of  integrating the bewildering deluge of fact, political delusion, flights of  genius, inconceivable danger and cunning deceit that [have] characterized the  nuclear age."  --Los Angeles Times
