Produktbeschreibung
Richard Collins seamlessly weaves a memoir about how he learned to ranch in southwestern Arizona with astute commentaries about the challenges of doing so in a land where most of his neighbors were exurbanites and a small endangered minnow caused more problems than the drug runners trekking through his mountain pastures. Along the way, Collins paints a portrait of rural West struggling to survive the onslaught of relentless urbanization, suburbanization, and exurbanization. He poses one of the most consequential questions facing environmentalists today: Do we attempt to preserve every vanishing species regardless of habitat constraints, or should we manage the land for overall ecological health?
