SUMMARY:Faith and the Fight: France Davis

SUMMARY:A Wallace Stegner Center Green Bag
DESCRIPTION:The American West has long been seen as a place of rugged landscapes presenting endless opportunities. But the land is more fragile and resources more finite than popular perceptions admit. \nWe are presenting a volume of essays\, A Watershed Moment\, that explores 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. The book examines practical approaches to land use\, land management\, and community planning rooted in philosophical views on justice\, quality of life\, and sustainability in the American West. The result is a compelling vision of place-based\, policy-oriented sustainability across the West. \nOur presentations focus on what the management of water resources demonstrates about how communities and environmental systems are dealing with the implications of growth\, development\, and climate change

SUMMARY:Gary E. Machlis on Sustainability for the Forgotten
DESCRIPTION:Due to the hurricane Helene\, we’ve regrettably had to cancel this event. We hope to be able to host Gary Machlis in the future. Please watch our webpage for further details. If you’d like to purchase the book\, use the discount code MACHLIS25 for 25% off the book on our website: https://uofupress.com/books/sustainability-for-the-forgotten/ \nQuestions? Contact Hannah.New@utah.edu. Thank you for your understanding. \n  \n  \nSustainability for the Forgotten is an incendiary book that confronts the history\, policies\, and practices of sustainability. It interrogates the usefulness of current sustainability approaches for the poorest of the poor\, the chronic underclass\, victims of natural disasters\, refugees\, the oppressed\, and asks\, how can we do better? With examples that range from the coffeelands of El Salvador to the coal country of American Appalachia\, from the streets of Detroit to refugee camps in Greece and the upscale metro centers of the affluent\, sustainability is examined with a critical eye and with an emphasis on insuring that the forgotten are heard. \nListen to Gary Machlis as he challenges the sustainability movement to follow “a just and necessary path” and provides a call to action that is ultimately hopeful. \nGary E. Machlis is University Professor of Environmental Sustainability at Clemson University. He is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, and member of the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine’s Roundtable on Science and Technology for Sustainability and its Board on Environmental Change and Society. He has written widely on issues of conservation\, science policy\, and sustainability. \nLight refreshments will be served.

With vivid prose and intimate observation\, The Book of Bauer offers an unparalleled memoir of small-town life in Utah and the Great Basin. \nAbout Stephen Lottridge:\nStephen S.

SUMMARY:A Conversation on Mormon Biographies
DESCRIPTION:  \nCelebrate 75 years of publishing with the University of Utah Press with a conversation on Mormon biographies. Join Stephen Taysom\, Gregory A. Prince\, Lindsay Hansen Park\, and Richard Saunders with Jedediah Rogers as they discuss their approaches to biography and contributions to Mormon studies. \nBiography is a popular genre among the general public. The study of human lives is also essential to the study of history\, as it uses individuals as a lens to examine historical questions or themes. Good biography reveals intimate connections between people\, communities\, and events sometimes missing in traditional works of history. \nProminent biographers of the Mormon experience will join a lively conversation to reflect on their own work and the craft of biography. The event promises to be a critical examination of the genre and a celebration of seminal biographies published by the University of Utah Press. \n

SUMMARY:The Arches Reader Book Release and Signing with Jeffrey Nichols
DESCRIPTION:Ken Sanders Rare Books will host Jeffrey Nichols for a discussion and signing of his new book The Arches Reader. Ken Sanders will read his contribution to the book. Discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. \nGeology is the star attraction in many national parks\, but Arches National Park reveals erosional wonders like no other place on earth. There’s something thrilling and slightly unsettling about a massive rock with a hole in its middle or a ribbon of stone flung like a spider’s thread from one rock face to another. And there’s nothing quite like a view of blue sky or snow-capped mountains framed by stone. So many stony holes of so many shapes and sizes abound here that people spend years hunting unrecorded arches\, quarreling over measurements and categories\, and dreaming up original names. \nPart of the National Park Readers series\, The Arches Reader is an anthology of writing about Arches National Park and the surrounding area. The selections range from creative nonfiction to short fiction to poetry to amateur versions of scientific reports; they are wide-ranging and have never before been collected in one place; several selections are previously unpublished. Photographs collected here include both historic black-and-white images and beautiful\, full-color images of some of Arches’ most striking features. The Arches Reader is an essential companion for anyone who wants to better understand its unique natural and human past. \nDr. Jeff Nichols is a full-time professor at Westminster University. He specializes in politics and current events\, nineteenth century American West\, Gilded Age\, Progressive Era\, Prostitution in Salt Lake City\, and Environmental history. \nReviews \n“If you want to know Arches National Park\, and you’ve read Edward Abbey’s Desert Solitaire\, your next book needs to be The Arches Reader. Jeff Nichols is a historian\, and he shows here his respect for fascinating original sources and excerpts long enough to capture their full-throated flavor. Many stories in Nichols’s anthology feature park rangers and their families who turn out to be the colorful opposite of faceless bureaucrats. Arches sits on the bank of the Colorado River just outside Moab\, and so this collection extends beyond the park to include uranium hunters\, pilgrim poets\, cranky environmentalists\, and early outfitters. Nichols uses Arches as a springboard into Colorado Plateau environmental history and rural Utah culture. It’s a worthy plunge into vastly enjoyable territory.”\n– Stephen Trimble\, editor of The Capitol Reef Reader and Red Rock Stories \n“Arches’ story is unique\, tied so closely as it is to the fate of its adjacent community. I’m not sure that any other park can tell quite the same story of an explosion in popularity and a community’s attendant ambivalence. And its sometimes despair.”\n-Jen Jackson Quintano\, author of Blow Sand in His Soul: Bates Wilson\, the Heart of Canyonlands \nMore about The Arches Reader can be found at:\nhttps://uofupress.com/books/the-arches-reader/\nInquiries can be directed to:\nHattie MacLeod (Ken Sanders Rare Books) – hattie@kensandersbooks.com\nHannah New (University of Utah Press) – hannah.new@utah.edu\nJeff Nichols Ph.D – jnichols@westminsteru.edu
