Wilderness... We scarcely know what we mean by the
term, but the sound of it draws all whose nerves and emotions have not
yet been irreparably stunned, deadened, numbed by the caterwauling of
commerce, the sweating scramble for profit and domination.
— Edward
Abbey
 e
warned — some of these papers are very long! If your ISP is inclined
to cut you off after a certain number of minutes of "idle"
time, you may wish to download them and read them offline instead. If
you do, I suggest saving them as source rather than plain text,
and reading them with your web browser, because some of them have a
lot of formatting — italics, blockquotes, hypertext footnotes,
etc. — which won't show up properly in ASCII. You'll still be able
to read them in plain text, but you'll have a very hard time telling
quotes from body text, or finding the footnotes.
I
am, however, in the process of breaking down the longest pieces into
more manageable sub-pages, and have already tackled the longest in this
section, The Soul of Nature. Others will be done in order, largest to
smallest.
As
with the other Wild Ideas libraries, I'm quite open to submissions from
other people for inclusion here. Thus far, the Temple Library is the
only one with any content not written by me, but I'm hoping that will
change. If you've written, or would like to write, something you feel
is appropriate for this section, please let
me know!
