The August 2010 IJW features a wonderful, heartfelt letter from the late George Duffy. This “Farewell” essay was written to fellow wilderness stewards after George learned he had a rare and fatal cancer. The letter reflects how George lived his life: full of verve and passion for wilderness, and always striving to improve wilderness stewardship. Angeles Mendoza Sammet and Michael S. Quinn contribute a Science & Research paper on the governance challenges for wildland preservation in Canada and Mexico. Other articles include:
- Special Provisions of Wilderness Legislation in the United States, 1964-2009, by Chad P. Dawson, Blake Propst and John C. Hendee;
- International Perspective from the Janos Biosphere Reserve in Northern Mexico;
- A book review of “The Nurture of Nature: Childhood, Antimodernism and Ontario Summer Camps, 1920-1955.” By Sharon Wall.
