Book Description
Roughly centered on the Four Corners region of the southwestern United States, the Colorado Plateau covers some 130,000 square miles of sparsely vegetated plateaus, mesas, canyons, arches, and cliffs in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. With elevations ranging from 3,000 to 14,000 feet, the natural systems found within the plateau are dramatically varied, from desert to alpine conditions. This book focuses on the integration of science and resource management issues in this unique and highly varied environment. Broken into three subsections, this volume addresses conservation biology, biophysical resources, and inventory and monitoring concerns. The chapters range in content, addressing conservation issuesÑpast, present, and futureÑon the Colorado Plateau, measurement of human impacts on resources, grazing and wildland-urban interfaces, and tools and methods for monitoring habitats and species. An informative read for people interested in the conservation and natural history of the region, the book will also serve as a valuable reference for those people engaged in the management of cultural and biological resources of the Colorado Plateau, as well as scientists interested in methods and tools for land and resource management throughout the West.

Book Description
For at least ten thousand years, until the arrival of railroads in the 1880s, thepeople of the Colorado Plateau--Canyon Country--primarily derived theirsustenance from the natural resources of the land they inhabited.People today find themselves in a vastly different situation. Now almosteverything we eat, wear, and use comes from other places. This book chroniclesthe achievements of an inspired group of Canyon Country people who arecountering this trend by asserting a new kind of citizenship--a citizenship thatextends beyond the political realm to root itself in deep respect for, and relianceon, the nature of the region.They are tucked back in canyons, hidden on mesa tops, and set in cities andtiny towns alike--some of the world's most interesting experiments in usingwind and solar energy, harvesting food sustainably, building to fit a desertclimate, and using the renewable by-products of forest restoration to meethuman needs. This book, for the first time, tells the stories of the innovators andculture-bearers who are ensuring that diverse human communities can continueto live in harmony with the Southwest's stunning natural and culturallandscapes.
