I would recommend HOW THE WEST WAS WARMED to anybody who lives in the West or cares about this region. This fabulous collection of essays describes how climate change manifests itself, from the vanishing snow pack and the horror of pine beetle infestations, to green jobs and the new energy economy. The book is a great way to understand the local impact of global climate change. A must read for everyone in the Rocky Mountain West.

“Landing in the middle of Colorado and wondering who these people are and what concerns them, the proverbial Martian could do much worse than to start with Beth Conover’s fine essay collection. Virtually everyone in the region who has given serious thought to climate, water, and resource allocation is included in this book. This collection is a source of emergency education on the critical climate and resource issues that no longer accept avoidance and a longer term reference work for scholars and concerned citizens on how to preserve our region and our planet.”
