Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:Shooting Polaris is John Hales's far-reaching account of one memorable summer in the 1970s when he worked as a government surveyor in the southern Utah desert. Although this work is autobiographical, it is so much more. It is a reflection on man's relationship to nature and work, American history and the movement into the West, the desire to impose order and the contrary impulse for unmediated experience, the idealistic legacy of the sixties, the influence of the Mormon Church, and the often-antagonistic relationship of American capitalism to sound ecological management. Along the way, Hales introduces engaging characters and reveals the art, science, and history of surveying, an endeavor that turns out to be surprisingly fascinating and profound.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
