Contributions from leading scholars, authors and scientists make this book a cohesive volume characterized by fresh thinking on wilderness issues. Changes in the intermountain West of North America causes many people to think about wilderness. This area of mountains, canyons, deserts and an unusually diverse flora and fauna, is rich with both designated and proposed wilderness areas and currently the focus of intense political debate. Thus it was natural for it to become the site of a conference on wilderness.
