Defensive Environmentalists and the Dynamics of Global Reform
Four Symbolic Boundaries of The American West
What are boundaries of West? This seemingly mundane, even passe spatial concern maintains its relevance through our continuing theoretical interest in regions, borders, and boundaries (Ayers and others 1996; Linklater 2008; Diener and Hagen 2012; Shelly 2013). While most scholarship on West is rightly focused elsewhere, delineation of boundaries of region--spatially and thematically--should not be dismissed. location and meaning of West is far fr…
Conservation's Radical Center in Geography
Landscape Change In Hispano And Chicano Villages Of New Mexico
Understanding villages grows more fascinating and urgent as we watch them become encircled, transformed, or erased. Grasping the geographical reality of village and town forms is critical in this work. John Jakle explored small and emerged with insights into the stereotypes, symbols, and vernacular forms that help create generalized views of (1982). Joseph Wood focused on New England, arguing that the classic nucleated, colonial village is an ide…
Utopia, Dystopia, and Sublime Apocalypse in Montana's Church Universal and Triumphant
The search for a perfected place on earth is rarely easy or forgiving. Utopias and dystopias demonstrate the practical frailties of attempts to build better human associations, whether as literary efforts or in actual, on‐the‐ground experiments. With a proprietary interest in evaluating the dimensions of place making, geographers can lay claim to be frontline critics of efforts that attempt to craft a better world. The catalog of personality cult…
Mormon Colonias of Chihuahua
From my teacher, the geographer Barney Nietschmann, I learned a great deal about islands. Isolation, the preciousness of fresh water, the power of national identity, how innovations amend an initial cultural impress--each of these was a theme Barney stressed. Just as biogeographers recognize actual and habitat islands, cultural geographers study island peoples--or, just as readily, turn their attention toward ethnic enclaves that lie far from the…

The Dawn of Conservation Diplomacy
Montana Ghost Dance
Montana has been the "last best place" for so many people. A century ago, Native Americans gathered here to perform the Ghost Dance—a last, doomed attempt to make white settlers vanish and bring back the old ways of life. Today, people are still pouring into Montana, looking for the pristine wilderness they saw in A River Runs through It. The reality of Montana—indeed, of all the West—has never matched the myths, but this book eloquently explores…

Montana Ghost Dance
Lost Landscapes and Failed Economies
The Mountainous West
Traditional interpretations of the American West have concentrated on the importance of its aridity to the region's cultural evolution and development. But the West is marked by a second fact of physical geography that distinguished it (from the experiences of settlers) from the east. As pioneers struggled with the climate west of the hundredth meridian, they were also confronted by mountains strewn across the region and offering their own set of…
Great Basin Growth and the Withering of California's Pacific Idyll
For more than 150 years has gained population at the expense of other parts of the United States. The attractions highlighted climate, agricultural opportunities, employment, and a lush beckoning of spirit, style, and trend. California's nickname, the Golden State, enshrined both opportunities and attractions. Long perceived as a relatively tolerant and welcoming destination, for a century pulled in people who were sprinting from the soured econo…
North American Cattle-Ranching Frontiers
Cultural Geography and Land Trusts in Colorado and Utah
AMERICANS concerned with environmental conservation have become deeply frustrated by the failure of governmental landuse-planning programs to protect cherished places from urbanization. Citizens are increasingly establishing private, nonprofit conservation organizations known as land trusts to protect their homelands from incompatible forms of development (Emory 1985; Wright 1992). Land-trust members employ the politics of the possible to conserv…

Land Information Management
Prepared under the auspices of the Commonwealth Association of Surveying and Land Economy (CASLE), this is designed both as a practical handbook for use by land administrators and managers and as a textbook for trainees. The authors begin with a discussion on the different types of cadastral surveys - of the extent, value, and ownership of land - used in practice, continuing with sections on surveying, the handling of data, and questions of the e…
