Nature of Southwestern Colorado
Angebote / Angebote:
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.
