Terry Tempest Williams - A Personal Topography of America's National Parks
National parks stand at the intersection of humanity and wildness, and there's no one better than author, conservationist and activist Terry Tempest Williams to guide us through them. Her book "The Hour of Land" celebrates the centennial of the US National Park Service and features lyrical portraits of twelve parks — from Yellowstone in Wyoming, to Acadia in Maine, to Big Bend in Texas — that illuminate the unique grandeur of each place. This presentation is a meditation and manifesto on why wild lands matter to the soul of America.
