{"product_id":"the-natural-west-dan-flores-9780806135373","title":"The Natural West: Environmental History in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Natural West offers essays reflecting the natural history of the American West as written by one of its most respected environmental historians. Developing a provocative theme, Dan Flores asserts that Western environmental history cannot be explained by examining place, culture, or policy alone, but should be understood within the context of a universal human nature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Natural West entertains the notion that we all have a biological nature that helps explain some of our attitudes towards the environment. FLores also explains the ways in which various cultures-including the Comanches, New Mexico Hispanos, Mormons, Texans, and Montanans-interact with the environment of the West.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGracefully moving between the personal and the objective, Flores intersperses his writings with literature, scientific theory, and personal reflection. The topics cover a wide range-from historical human nature regarding animals and exploration, to the environmental histories of particular Western bioregions, and finally, to Western restoration as the great environmental theme of the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Flores\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806135379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806135373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.42h x 6.04w x 0.89d","brand":"Dan Flores","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992460099839,"sku":"9780806135373","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0b0a5755-7b54-4920-b740-21e53aeb8578.jpg?v=1683319068","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-natural-west-dan-flores-9780806135373","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
