This little book is pack with inspiration on all kind of topics, which was a nice surprise. Thought I would be only about nature. Also wanted to note that the book was sent back from the post office here where I live. We are in a rural area and the postal service didn't know someone was living here. When I saw this on the tracking service I thought it was going to be a hassle to get this fixed. Amazon sent out the book again with next day delivery at no extra cost to me! So glad to have not missed out on this little treasure.

A nice little book of quotes but wasn't up to the high standards I expect from nols. Still a great item for the library though.

This small packable book, easy to carry because of its' size, includes almost 1,000 quotations, all organized around NOLS's wilderness education curriculum. Quotes from: Albert Einstein, Ernest Shackleton, Edward Abbey, Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, Barry Lopez, Henry David Thoreau, Mark Twain, Rachel Carson, Aldo Leopold, Plato, Wallace Stegner, Morris Udall, - to name a very few.! The quotes are divided up into 130 chapters addressing areas of thought - such as: beauty, biodiversity, endurance, failure and success, individuality, taking risks, natural rhythms, oceans, self-awareness, etc.
