Its living river system supplies water to roughly forty million people, contains Grand Canyon National Park, Bears Ears National Monument, and wide swaths of other public lands, and encompasses ancestral homelands of twenty-nine Native American tribes. John Wesley Powell, a one-armed Civil War veteran, explorer, scientist, and adept federal administrator, articulated a vision for Euro-American colonization of the \"Arid Region\" that has indelibly shaped the basin--a pattern that looms large not only in western history, but also in contemporary environmental and social policy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e One hundred and fifty years after Powell's epic 1869 Colorado River Exploring Expedition, this volume revisits Powell's vision, examining its historical character and its relative influence on the Colorado River Basin's cultural and physical landscape in modern times. In three parts, the volume unpacks Powell's ideas on water, public lands, and Native Americans--ideas at once innovative, complex, and contradictory. With an eye toward climate change and a host of related challenges facing the basin, the volume turns to the future, reflecting on how--if at all--Powell's legacy might inform our collective vision as we navigate a new \"Great Unknown.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13353602\"\u003eJason Robison\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520375796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520375793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-NAT\"\u003eNature\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-NAT029000\"\u003eEcosystems \u0026amp; Habitats | Rivers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS036140\"\u003eUnited States | State \u0026amp; Local | West (AK, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJason Robison\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Law at the University of Wyoming and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eLaw of Water Rights and Resources\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel McCool\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Political Science at the University of Utah, author of \u003ci\u003eRiver Republic: The Fall and Rise of America's Rivers\u003c\/i\u003e, and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eNative Vote: American Indians, the Voting Rights Act, and the Right to Vote\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Minckley\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Wyoming and principal organizer and leader of the 150th anniversary Powell Expedition project, the Sesquicentennial Colorado River Exploring Expedition (SCREE).","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44700168192237,"sku":"9780520375796","price":58.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_9a971fd8-1da9-477c-8310-c2b35819f42b.jpg?v=1703856145","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/vision-and-place-john-wesley-powell-and-reimagining-the-colorado-river-basin-9780520375796","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
