This short work written by pioneering environmentalist and Sierra Club founder John Muir in 1894 is a great gift for the nature-lover in your life.
In the essay, Muir describes the grandeur of the winds at play in the forests, with poetic detail about the trees of the Sierra and how they move in the wind. Muir's detailed experience of climbing a 100-foot Douglas Spruce to feel the sway and swirl of a storm for himself is unforgettable.
