O knihe
Travelers pass through one jaw-dropping landscape after another where snowy mountains meet the canyon country in southwestern Colorado. This small, remarkably varied region also plainly reveals a history of hard use, including logging scars, mine-polluted rivers, and overgrazed grasslands and forests. In this lavishly illustrated book, Paulson and Baker guide readers through this awe-inspiring land and its human legacies, detailing its ecology and discussing current trends. It's not just the mountains and canyon country that meet here; the Old West grazing, mining, farming, and timbering culture and a New West tourism and recreation culture are mixing in fascinating ways, generating unprecedented alliances and initiatives. A number of community projects suggest promise for the future, and may serve as inspiration to readers in any region.
