A great man... more like a sage who contemplated and meditated on nature, the Divine mother of all life on this planet.

Is there a book of his you would recommend starting with?

[@muirpower]

I always recommend The Wilderness World of John Muir , edited by Edwin Way Teale, which is an anthology of his best writings. Read my review of that book here: www.amazon.com/review/RQU8QAT3DA0B0/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

Take a shot every time he says nature

John Muir spent seven summers of his life herding thousands of sheep in the fragile alpine areas of the Sierra Mountains. He knew that these sheep were in his opinion 'hoofed locusts' but he needed a paying job. We all make 'compromises' that balance idealism with pragmatism.
