- W242607866 abstract "Yosemite's grip on our hearts and our minds is profound. Perhaps the most consistent reaction i t evokes is a desire to attach some meaning to such a place and to come to an understanding o f our connection to it. Several o f the following essays attempt to rationalize Yosemite, to dissect it into a framework of components and processes that help us understand die sway the Park holds over us. Others search for Yosemite's significance i n the meanings human cultures ascribe to it; several report on how Yosemite serves as an inspiration for human creation. One argues we should shift focus, that our attention to places o f extraordinary beauty blinds us to the beauty o f everyday places. There is a despondence emerging, a suggestion that the actual experience of Yosemite leaves much to be desired. Several authors note that a visit to PERCEPTIONS... Yosemite increas i n g l y resembles a visit to a theme park, and diey counsel that we would be bet ter off approaching the Park as a pilgrimage. One need not visit the Park to be touched by it, two ot the essays argue; the issues that touch the Park touch parks and wilderness everywhere. Yosemite's reputation has been com municated worldwide via verbal and pictoral images; an envi ronmental preservation ethic spurred by John Muir's passion for Yosemite has resulted in the creation of national parks and wilderness areas throughout the world. Each of the essays reveals a facet o f the challenges Yosemite poses to die human spirit, which ordinarily refuses to be dom inated and more often than not triumphs against its adver saries. One audior argues die deck is stacked against Yosemite. Nevertheless, because neither Yosemite nor humans are given to humility, it is likely that Yosemite will continue to be a source o f powerful, raw inspiration.
