Yosemite has long attracted adventurous people who come to climb, hang glide, ski, or hike through its rugged, wild terrain. Our latest book, Yosemite Meditations for Adventurers, celebrates this spirit of adventure with 45 of my photographs, paired with inspirational quotes about adventure and wild places from people like Galen Rowell, Bill Bryson, Terry Tempest Williams, Yvon Chouinard, Edward Abbey, John Muir, Cheryl Strayed, Lynn Hill, Ron Kauk, and many others, plus a forward by Royal Robbins.
This is the third book in the Yosemite Meditations series, following the original Yosemite Meditations, and Yosemite Meditations for Women. As in the previous editions, my wife Claudia did a great job of editing the book, finding great quotes, and pairing them with the photographs. You’ll find a few sample pages below.
You can hear a bit more about the new book in an interview I did for the Valley Edition show on KVPR, Fresno’s public radio station. The show aired yesterday, but you can listen to it online at their website (my segment starts at minute 28 and lasts about ten minutes).
If you order Yosemite Meditations for Adventurers directly from us through the “Add to Cart” button below, Claudia and I will both sign the book(s). You can also order from the publisher, the non-profit Yosemite Conservancy, or from Amazon.
We hope you like the book, and really appreciate your support! We also want to give our thanks to the Yosemite Conservancy for their continuing commitment to publishing high quality books about the park, and for all the great work they do to help Yosemite.

Dear Michael,
I’ve just received a copy of the book (bought on Amazon, because Yosemite Conservancy doesn’t ship abroad. Beautiful. I was curious about the very small format and in some sense it works.
But – why don’t you also publish a larger version? I’d buy it too 🙂
BTW – the book I just got is “Yosemite Meditations”. I ordered “Yosemite Meditations for Adventurers” too, but it’s still on its way.
Thanks Fabrizio – I’m glad you like the book. I’m not the publisher of the book, so I don’t make decisions about the size. Having said that though, I like the small size. It’s meant to be something you could take with you out into a meadow or somewhere else in Yosemite to read and contemplate. And it’s too expensive to print a book in different sizes.
