A Guide to Low-Impact Camping and Hiking. When first published in 1979, Laura and Guy Watermans' "new ethic" was enthusiastically received by environmentalists, hikers, and wilderness managers. This expanded edition brings the basics of low-impact hiking, camping and cooking, and alpine management into the 1990s. Here the authors take a fresh look at ways to protect the physical environment of our mountains and backcountry. - Foreword by Bill McKibben. National Outdoor Book Award, Honorable Mention
