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

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.
