General Thrillcraft: The Environmental Consequences of Motorized Recreation" by Wuerthmer, George Silence is a value held dear by many outdoors enthusiasts.

When thrillcraft dominate an area, other users of the land are displaced or have their own experience diminished, though the opposite is not true. A thrillcrafter seldom has his or her experience ruined by coming upon a backpacker. Available through The Foundation for Deep Ecology published by Chelsea Green Press).
