INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE GENERAL EDITOR, Riebsame, by the Director of Cartography, Robb and by the Essayists, Limerick and Wilkinson. First Edition (1997), so stated. First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence. Very Near Fine in Near Fine DJ: Book shows mild shelving wear along the bottom edge of the blue boards; a small scuff at the bottom edge of the rear board; just a touch of wear to the head of the backstrip; small, faint bump to the top edge of the rear panel; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean.

Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, plates, or labels. A handsome very nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing very mild wear and minor unobtrusive flaws. Close to 'As New'. The DJ shows a touch of wear to the upper rear corner tip and a mild wrinkle to the top edge of the rear panel, else flawless; price unclipped; mylar-protected. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Folio. (12.25 x 9.35 x 0.8 inches). 192 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. James J. Robb, Director of Cartography. Essays by Patricia Nelson Limerick and Charles Wilkinson. Photographs by Peter Goin. Language: English. Weight: 42.8 ounces. A Project of the University of Colorado, Boulder Center of the American West. Hardback with DJ. One of the best introductions to social, economic and environmental trends taking place in the Western United States. The graphs and photos highlight the new trends from water usage to ethic population patterns. The 7 chapters and two essays provide telling examples of how communtities are adapting to the changes (or not adapting in some cases). The work is footnoted to provide jumping off points for more research. Also, I found the quotes that are placed throughout the margins of the text to be extremely insightful. The book shines at showing how the West is moving away from a culture of exploiting natural resources for basic industry and instead exploiting the natural beauty to draw ever increasing numbers of residents and visitors. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE EDITOR.
