Book Review

This Grand and Magnificent Place: The Wilderness Heritage of the White Mountains. By Christopher Johnson. Durham: University of New Hampshire Press, 2006. x + 313 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, and index. Cloth $25.95.

This Grand and Magnificent Place examines the history of wilderness policy and perception in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Written by Christopher Johnson, an independent author with a background in publishing and environmental writing, the book's regional case study is intended to elaborate on the larger history of wilderness preservation in the United States. Throughout, Johnson asks readers to envision the White Mountains as being in tension between "instrumentalist" and "aesthetic" encounters with wilderness. This tension—familiar to many environmental historians—provides the conceptual foundation for Johnson's story.
