Book Review

Conserving Words: How American Nature Writers Shaped the Environmental Movement. By Daniel J. Philippon. Athens: University of Georgia Press, 2004. xv + 373 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $39.95.

As the book's title suggests, this study focuses on the dynamics of the relationship between nature writers and the environmental movement. Specifically, the author has chosen as his main subjects five writers, each of whom was significantly involved in the development of an environmental organization: Theodore Roosevelt and the Boone and Crockett Club, Mabel Osgood Wright and the National Audubon Society, and John Muir and the Sierra Club—key figures in what Philippon terms the era of "Progressive Conservation"—and Aldo Leopold and the Wilderness Society, and Edward Abbey and Earth First!—who were part of "Modern Environmentalism."
