"Muir expertly disguised the 'grind' of writing. His books prefer immediacy to reflection. They are lit by sunshine and starlight, and they ringingly communicate the joy of being outside...I can think of no other writer as astonished by nature as Muir. He lived, as he put it, in 'an infinite storm of beauty', and to read him is also to be stormed."

From chapter 8: "...I have learnt that magnitude of scale is no metric by which to judge natural spectacle, and that wonder is now, more than ever, an essential survival skill."

Just read it, people. Seriously. Otherwise I'm going to quote the whole damn book at you.
Chapter 6 "The Tunnel of Swords and Axes" is stunning.

"But we are and always have been name-callers, christeners. Words are grained into our landscapes, and landscapes grained into our words. 'Every language is an old-growth forest of the mind,' in Wade Davis's memorable phrase. We see in words: in webs of words, wefts of words, woods of words. The roots of individual words reach out and intermesh, their stems lean and criss-cross,and their outgrowths branch and clasp."

I'm only on page 6 and already swooning at his writing (yet again). I loved The Old Ways and I can already tell I will adore this book.
