Facing Limits In the American West: A community Discussion on Past, Present, and Future Directions

A new collection of essays, A Watershed Moment, reveals tensions between a culture of economic growth and personal freedom and the ecological, economic, and social constraints set by community values and the land itself. As Western communities come up against these limits, chapter authors highlight issues of sustainability endemic to the region and to the nation as a whole. Join us to hear from authors and discuss critical social-environmental issues in the West.

Robert Frodeman, Environmental Philosopher
