Description: An extraordinary, historic statement on behalf of wilderness, Testimony is a powerful collection by twenty-one of today's most prominent writers. Originally created as a limited edition presented to Congress, this book was the result of an effort to communicate through art the urgent need to preserve threatened lands. Testimony is an important reminder of the historical and spiritual importance of our public lands and the fact that if we value wilderness, we must take action to preserve it.
