Book description
Bestselling author David Gessner's wilderness road trip inspired by America's greatest conservationist, Theodore Roosevelt, is "a rallying cry in the age of climate change" (Robert Redford)."Leave it as it is," Theodore Roosevelt announced while viewing the Grand Canyon for the first time. "The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it." Roosevelt's pronouncement signaled the beginning of an environmental fight that still wages today. To reconnect with the American wilderness and with the president who courageously protected it, acclaimed nature writer and New York Times bestselling author David Gessner embarks on a great American road trip guided by Roosevelt's crusading environmental legacy. Gessner travels to the Dakota badlands where Roosevelt awakened as a naturalist; to Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon where Roosevelt escaped during the grind of his reelection tour; and finally, to Bears Ears, Utah, a monument proposed by Native Tribes that is currently embroiled in a national conservation fight. Along the way, Gessner questions and reimagines Roosevelt's vision for today's lands. "Insightful, observant, and wry," (BookPage) Leave It As It Is offers an arresting history of Roosevelt's pioneering conservationism, a powerful call to arms, and a profound meditation on our environmental future.
