Über den Autor
David Petersen is the author of Ghost Grizzlies: Does the Great Bear Still Haunt Colorado? and a dozen other nature-themed books. In a long career, he was Western Editor for Mother Earth News and a masthead contributor for Backpacker Magazine. Previous to editing Edward Abbey's Confessions of a Barbarian, Petersen was the editor of five more titles, including A Hunter's Heart: Honest Essays on Blood Sport.When Edward Abbey died in 1989 at the age of sixty-two, the American West lost one of its most eloquent and passionate advocates. Through his novels, essays, letters and speeches, Edward Abbey consistently voiced the belief that the West was in danger of being developed to death, and that the only solution lay in the preservation of wilderness. Abbey authored twenty-one books in his lifetime, including Desert Solitaire, The Monkey Wrench Gang, The Brave Cowboy, and The Fool's Progress. His comic novel The Monkey Wrench Gang helped inspire a whole generation of environmental activism.
