Features: In the chaotic world, we yearn for tranquility, for listening to the voice of nature, and for finding a peaceful haven for our souls. Faced with the evils of modern civilization, we deeply miss the once widespread paradise on earth, even longing for clear rivers, silent stars, and dewy daisies. Fortunately, this world has had figures like Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and Aldo Leopold, who abandoned comfort and immersed themselves in nature. President Theodore Roosevelt believed that the works of Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and Aldo Leopold are exemplary natural literature that can coexist on a bookshelf.
