Woven throughout the personal narrative will be stories on the human and natural histories of the Denali National Park, garnished with a conservation polemic, much as Edward Abbey did with Desert Solitaire, and Rick Bass has done with any number of books (that continue to sell well). Heacox will write of Denali through an inspirational arc: to show how a place can touch a life, even save a life, quietly, profoundly, day after day, year after year, and how that saving multiplied by millions of lives over a century makes the world a better place. Heacox makes the argument, through his beautiful and impassioned prose, that we must save these places so they in turn will save us. Denali National Park is the most accessible subarctic sanctuary in the world, and has awakened millions of people to what's authentic, priceless and true. Any serious student of spirituality and the American landscape must one day address his relationship with Alaska, and once in Alaska, he must confront Denali, the heart of the state, the state of the heart"--Provided by publisher 600 10 Heacox, Kim|xTravel|zAlaska|zDenali National Park and Preserve 600 10 Heacox, Kim|xPhilosophy 650 0 Natural history|zAlaska|zDenali National Park and Preserve 650 0 Nature conservation|zAlaska|zDenali National Park and Preserve (Alaska) 650 0 Landscape protection|zAlaska|zDenali National Park and Preserve (Alaska) 650 7 Nationalparker|2sao 650 7 Naturvård|2sao 651 0 Denali National Park and Preserve (Alaska)|xDescription and travel 651 0 Denali National Park and Preserve (Alaska)|xHistory 651 0 Denali National Park and Preserve (Alaska)|xEnvironmental conditions 651 7 Förenta staterna|zAlaska|2sao 653 USA 655 7 Personliga berättelser|2saogf 907 00 151104
