These nearly 500 pages form a unique 80-year autobiographical collage pieced together from three main sources: A Forest of Stories: Brock's unknown and unpublished personal writing from boyhood diaries, letters, journals, stories from Ohio to Princeton to Bombay, from the Marines to Michigan Law School, from Ann Arbor to Montana. Later personal writing include his poem "Elegy," Israel diaries, "Seventeenth Summer," Cancer-Time diaries, and "Music to Play at my Funeral." Most texts were transcribed and quoted verbatim or excerpted. A Mountain of Documents: These were selected from thousands of Brock's extensive professional published environmental writing, including testimony, speeches, letters, articles, memoranda, histories, essays, complete chapters. Most texts were scanned and/or excerpted. Chapters tell of winning or influencing battle after battle: North Cascades, Alpine Lakes, Horseshoe Basin, French Pete, Hells Canyon, John Day River, Sparta Mountain, Congaree. A River of Photos: These 124 photographs-both color and black-white, both published and unpublished, personal and professional-introduce, enrich, and vary the multiple texts. Scanned and featured at the opening of all fifty chapters, they include Evans family photos, landscapes, arrests, mentors, marches, nurses, friends, mountains, wives and lovers, shots from the freighter Capto, and professional photos: Hells Canyon, Boundary Waters Wilderness, Alaska.In *Endless Pressure, Endlessly Applied*, these sources come together to create a new whole-a rich and complex place to understand and appreciate Brock Evans' life and work. An attorney by profession and a writer by instinct, he has previously published two books: *Alpine Lakes* (1971) and the award-winning *Fight and Win* (2015).
