Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. From the man many consider to be the preeminent expert on the law of the American West comes an indispensable and passionate exploration of the crucial questions the West faces. In The Eagle Bird, Charles Wilkinson assesses the battles being fought over the region's resources and how the conflict between conservationists and developers -- once a black-and-white issue -- now enmeshes a startling array of interest and constituencies.For this new paperback edition, Wilkinson includes new essays on subjects such as population growth in the West, and updates all of the original material.

In The Eagle Bird, he articulates an ethic of place with all the passion and immediacy of a manifesto.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The inspirational story of the extraordinary gains by Indian tribes over the past half-century. The modern tribal sovereignty movement deserves to be spoken of in the same breath as the civil rights, environmental and women's movements.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In Crossing the Next Meridian, Charles F. Wilkinson, an expert on federal public lands, Native American issues, and the West's arcane water laws explains some of the core problems facing the American West now and in the years to come. He examines the outmoded ideas that pervade land use and resource allocation and argues that significant reform of Western law is needed to combat desertification and environmental decline, and to heal splintered communities. Interweaving legal history with examples of present-day consequences of the laws, both intended and unintended, Wilkinson traces the origins and development of the laws and regulations that govern mining, ranching, forestry, and water use. He relates stories of Westerners who face these issues on a day-to-day basis, and discusses what can and should be done to bring government policies in line with the reality of twentieth-century American life.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In 1959, the Supreme Court ushered in a new era of Indian law, which recognizes Indian tribes as permanent governments within the federal constitutional system and, on the whole, honors old promises to the Indians. Drawing together historical sources such as the records of treaty negotiations with the Indians, classic political theory on the nature of sovereignty, and anthropological studies of societal change, Wilkinson evaluates the Court's work in Indian law over the past twenty-five years and considers the effects of time on law.…
