This documentary-style of narratives profiles a wide range of prominent western figures from the Great Basin to the Desert Southwest, the Rocky Mountains to the Great Plans as they engage in candid discussions of the West and its identity. A diverse group of visionary men and women, they may differ in ideology but remain united in their belief that the West requires inspired action if it is going to endure challenges posed by political, cultural, and environmental pressures. The book’s narratives feature men and women on each side of the issues speaking freely on education, recreation, immigration, ranching, alternative energy, wildlife habitat protection, oil and gas extraction, urban development, and water conservation. Together, their words provide a panoramic view of today’s evolving West.
