The American West as Living Space
by Wallace Stegner
A passionate work about the fragile and arid West that Stegner loves.
What Professors Are Saying
"The book I have assigned, Wallace Stegner's The American West as Living Space, is one I have used before. I think it is brilliant cultural history and ponders the way American civilization has struggled with adapting to the arid West. It blends environmental and human history and it raises many disturbing questions about the future of the region. I have found that students find much to discuss, and its brevity lends itself well to an undergraduate seminar. In the wake of a severe (and ongoing) drought here in southern Colorado, Stegner's observations from a lifetime of writing about the region are resonate today."
