About the Book

It's hard to believe that for the first time ever, the mountains of Southern California have at last been given the serious artistic attention that Ansel Adams and Galen Rowell gave to Yosemite and the High Sierra. The new Sierra Club Angeles Chapter book, "Southern California Mountain Country," offers 84 color images that sweep from the Ventura and San Diego backcountry and zoom in for a central focus on the three great ranges of our region - the San Gabriel, San Bernardino and San Jacinto mountains. Each color image is paired with the powerful and poetic language of John Muir in a treasury of a memorable thoughts distilled from his books and articles. Here you will find the essence of Muir's environmental wisdom matched to the places that are ours to enjoy each day and week of the year. Muir tasted our region and gave it high praise. What if he could have walked all of it? This book imagines that possibility by pairing great Muir quotes about the Sierra Nevada with images of our Southern Sierra. The result is an amazingly close fit that invites us to recognize the relevance of Muir in our time and to affirm we live in a very special place. FEATURES THE SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS NATIONAL MONUMENT ESTABLISHED IN 2014 The designation in 2014 by President Obama of the San Gabriel Mountains as a National Monument reflects that nowhere else in this country does such a magnificent mountain realm form the wild and free backyard of a vast metropolis. "Southern California Mountain Country" invites you to take the next step up the mountain by encountering the wildness that is here, affirmed in the words of California's greatest environmental visionary.
About the Author: This publication reflects a collaboration by members and staff of the Sierra Club Angeles Chapter. Glenn Pascall acted to lead this collaboration by selecting photographs from his own extensive collection and selecting appropriate excerpts from the writings of John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club. Glenn sought advice from John Muir biographers and scholars to match the best of Muir's writings with each photograph. 2015 has been tagged as the "Year of Muir" by the Sierra Club Angeles Chapter in order to commorate the 100 years that John Muir has inspired the modern environmental and outdoor adventure movements since his life's walk through nature's wonders ended in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve, 1914. Through outdoor activities, conservation action, and political advocacy, the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club engages its members, the public, and local, state, and national policy makers in environmental issues that affect Los Angeles and Orange Counties while exploring, enjoying and protecting the planet. Net proceeds of the book's sales will be used by the Sierra Club Angeles Chapter to support its popular outdoor outings program, effective citizen-based advocacy and lobbying efforts.
