{"product_id":"wilderburbs-lincoln-bramwell-9780295994123","title":"Wilderburbs: Communities on Nature's Edge","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the 1950s, the housing developments in the West that historian Lincoln Bramwell calls \"wilderburbs\" have offered residents both the pleasures of living in nature and the creature comforts of the suburbs. Remote from cities but still within commuting distance, nestled next to lakes and rivers or in forests and deserts, and often featuring spectacular views of public lands, wilderburbs celebrate the natural beauty of the American West and pose a vital threat to it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilderburbs tells the story of how roads and houses and water development have transformed the rural landscape in the West. Bramwell introduces readers to developers, homeowners, and government regulators, all of whom have faced unexpected environmental problems in designing and building wilderburb communities, including unpredictable water supplies, threats from wildfires, and encounters with wildlife. By looking at wilderburbs in the West, especially those in Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico, Bramwell uncovers the profound environmental consequences of Americans' desire to live in the wilderness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lincoln Bramwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295994126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295994123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 6.25w x 1.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Spur Awards - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2015 pg. 1215","brand":"Lincoln Bramwell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47135229018367,"sku":"9780295994123","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_10a37be6-2d20-41f7-813e-7039cab8e823.jpg?v=1755009518","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wilderburbs-lincoln-bramwell-9780295994123","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
