Reviews
"Gessner gives us a new Theodore Roosevelt for our times. As he travels through our national monuments and parks, he considers ways we can make 'America's best idea' even better, uniting the park ideal with the Native ideals behind the creation of Bears Ears National Monument. The book is a thrilling journey in nature, a history of Roosevelt and the Antiquities Act, and a rallying cry in the age of climate change." --Robert Redford "Gessner is an old-school wilderness-besotted warrior-poet. This book stands as a forceful reminder that, in his words, "no matter how often public lands are 'saved,' they are never really safe." Rarely is a battle cry so pleasurable to read, or pleasure so infuriating." --Robert Moor, New York Times bestselling author of On Trails: An Exploration "A passionate and timely argument for public lands, a brilliant exploration of Teddy Roosevelt's life and love of nature, and a wickedly wonderful read. Leave It As It Is is as thoughtful, articulate, brave, full of vigor, and dedicated to spinning thought into action as Theodore Roosevelt himself was." --Jennifer Ackerman, New York Times bestselling author of The Genius of Birds and The Bird Way "Of all that has been written about Teddy Roosevelt, this engaging book best captures TR's relentless passion for land and wildness as well as his fierceness in protecting them. David Gessner displays the full reach of Roosevelt's vision for conservation." --Charles Wilkinson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Colorado and author of Crossing the Next Meridian " Leave It As It Is will stretch your imagination--and it may convince you to stretch your legs in some of the remarkable terrain Roosevelt helped preserve. Theodore Roosevelt will always be a problematic character, but as Gessner shows, there are ways in which he was stretching towards the future we inhabit, and towards the past we should not destroy." --Bill McKibben, author of Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? "David Gessner's scholarship, observations, and assessment of the American West comes not a minute too late. Any thunder we hear now is Theodore Roosevelt rolling over in his grave as the Trump administration proceeds with its feckless policies to liquidate our sacred public lands." --Rick Bass, author of For a Little While "Facing the possible end of American democracy, Gessner revivified Theodore Roosevelt and took him west on a roadtrip to survey his legacy. At the top of his game, Gessner's strong, intimate voice takes you along and you'll be glad you went. What more could we need now than to remember what a president could be: a pugilist with a moral backbone, a Harvard-trained naturalist, a lover of literature who writes and speaks in complete sentences, and someone who, if born into wealth, values it far less than beauty and the survival of life on earth." -- Jordan Fisher Smith, author of Engineering Eden "This combination of environmental journalism, biography, and travelog introduces fascinating charactesr who will engage readers of environmental literature as well as Roosevelt enthusiasts." --Library Journal, "Gessner gives us a new Theodore Roosevelt for our times.

Synopsis
An urgent call to protect America's public lands, told through New York Times bestselling author David Gessner's American road trip with our greatest conservationist, Theodore Roosevelt, as his guide. "Leave it as it is," Theodore Roosevelt announced while viewing the Grand Canyon for the first time. "The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it." Roosevelt's rallying cry signaled the beginning of an environmental fight that still wages today. With America's wilderness under threat--from corporate interests, from politicians, and from the extremes of climate change--Roosevelt's awakening into conservationist-in-chief gives us a roadmap for protecting our wild spaces today. To reconnect with the American land and with the president who courageously protected it, acclaimed naturalist and New York Times bestselling author David Gessner embarked on a great American road trip with Roosevelt as his spirit guide. Gessner travels to the Dakota badlands where Roosevelt ranched as a young man; the twin parks of Yellowstone and Yosemite where Roosevelt escaped during the grind of his reelection tour; the majesty of the Grand Canyon; and finally, Bears Ears, Utah, a monument proposed by local Native American tribes which President Trump recently reduced by 85%. As Gessner moves through the beauty of our public lands, he tells the story of how Roosevelt sought to save them , weaving together a profound meditation on nature and our environmental future. A beautifully rendered portrait of the West and a powerful call to arms, Gessner presents a timely case for how vital our public lands are in the fight against climate change, how precious that land is, and how we must each join in the fight to protect it for future generations., "A rallying cry in the age of climate change." --Robert Redford An environmental clarion call, told through bestselling author David Gessner's wilderness road trip inspired by America's greatest conservationist, Theodore Roosevelt. "Leave it as it is," Theodore Roosevelt announced while viewing the Grand Canyon for the first time. "The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it."

To reconnect with the American wilderness and with the president who courageously protected it, acclaimed nature writer and New York Times bestselling author David Gessner embarks on a great American road trip guided by Roosevelt's crusading environmental legacy. Gessner travels to the Dakota badlands where Roosevelt awakened as a naturalist; to Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon where Roosevelt escaped during the grind of his reelection tour; and finally, to Bears Ears, Utah, a monument proposed by Native Tribes that is embroiled in a national conservation fight. Along the way, Gessner questions and reimagines Roosevelt's vision for today. As Gessner journeys through the grandeur of our public lands, he tells the story of Roosevelt's life as a pioneering conservationist, offering an arresting history, a powerful call to arms, and a profound meditation on our environmental future.
