"A beautiful, absorbing, tragic book. . . . Rebecca Solnit tells this story with the passion and clarity it deserves."—Larry McMurtry<br><br> "<i>Savage Dreams</i> summons us to the campfires of resistance."—Mike Davis, author of <i>City of Quartz</i><br><br> "<i>Savage Dreams</i> is about many things: despoliation and restoration, finding a voice between contemporary noise and silence, making friends and enemies. Most of all, though, it may be about a journey into history: about how understanding history and making it are not really very different."—Greil Marcus, author of <i>Lipstick Traces</i><br><br>"A wonderful and important book, weaving past and present, politics and spirituality, land and history, pleasure and outrage, esthetics and activism, into a map where we as Americans find ourselves today. Intellectually challenging but beautifully written and eminently readable, <i>Savage Dreams</i> has both heart and teeth." —Lucy Lippard, author of <i>Overlay: Contemporary Art and the Art of Prehistory </i>
