    CHRONICLING THE WEST: Thirty Years of Environmental Writing.

    Edition: First printing, a trade paperback original.

    Seattle: Mountaineers Books, (1996). First edition - A collection of essays on the environmental past and future of the Western United States.

This collection offers environmental criticism at its best. These essays, spanning 30 years, are as relevant today as when they were first published. Included are essays on clearcutting, on destruction in the Bitterroots, on loving our National Parks to death, and "Who's Managing the Managers While They Manage the Wolves?" and much more. Reading list, index. 239 pp. ISBN: 0-898864755.
