Editorial Reviews
Paul F. Starrs, author of Let the Cowboy Ride: Cattle Ranching in the American West
"A book that echoes the disputatious nature of the post-millennial American West with prickly accuracy."
Book Description
How the Buenos Aires Ranch became not only a rallying point for multiple agendas in the "rangeland conflict" after its conversion to a wildlife refuge but also an expression of the larger shift from agricultural to urban economies in the Southwest. Sayre evaluates both sides of the controversy--from ranching's impact on the environment to environmentalism's sometimes misguided efforts at restoration--to address the complex and contradictory roles of ranching, endangered species conservation, and urbanization in the social and environmental transformation of the West.
