English at UC Davis, where he was also a member of the Graduate Groups
in Ecology and Geography. He was a member of the group of faculty who
established the Program in Nature and Culture, and joined with other
faculty and staff to bring the Putah Cache Bioregion Project into
existence. His teaching and research centered around human responses to
the natural world, as well as the Bible as literature and religion in
general. Two books were the outcome of these interests, West of Eden: A
History of the Art and Literature of Yosemite and Real Matter, a book
about the writings and doings mainly of Gary Snyder, Jack Kerouac,
Philip Whalen, and Mary Austin. Since the early 1970s he has been an
active photographer of the natural and human worlds.
