Born in Tennessee and raised in Ohio, Scott Russell Sanders studied at Brown University and earned his doctorate from the University of Cambridge as a Marshall Scholar. He spent his career as an English professor at Indiana University and is the author of 20 books, including Staying Put, Writing from the Center, Hunting for Hope and A Private History of Awe which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. His most recent book is A Conservationist Manifesto, in which, according to Booklist, “Sanders views preserving wilderness as a Sabbath in space instead of in time. People who practice an ‘ethic of restraint’ are ark builders because their simpler ways of living are ‘vessels’ holding the wisdom we need to survive the ‘rising flood’ of environmental concerns.”
