3.0 out of 5 stars
Good essays, but book is poor value,
By A Customer
This review is from: The American West as Living Space (Paperback)
These three essays are crisp, clear statements of Wallace Stegner's beliefs about the influence of the American West on American consciousness.Please note, however, that these three essays appear with 13 others in Stegner's book _Where the Bluebird Sings to the Lemonade Springs_. With a total of 16 essays, that book is a much better value than _American West as Living Space_.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Required reading for all citizens.,
By braddimock@aol.com (Flagstaff, Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The American West as Living Space (Paperback)
In this short, succinct book, a collection of three lectures given in the 1980s, Stegner sums up the history, problems, and ever-so-bleak future of the American West. He paints the clearest and most inarguable case that has yet seen print against the overdevelopement of the West's water, land, and resources and, jarringly, recants his youthful appelation of the West as "the geography of hope."This should be required reading in every high school, every college, and every home in the West--make that the entire country--no, make it the world.
