Since 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. Wilderburbs 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.

The American West, from the beginning of Euro-American settlement, has been shaped by diverse ideas about how to utilize physical space and natural environments to create cohesive, sometimes exclusive community identities. When westerners developed their towns, they constructed spaces and cultural identities that reflected alternative understandings of modern urbanity. The essays in City Dreams, Country Schemes utilize an interdisciplinary approach to explore the ways that westerners conceptualized, built, and inhabited urban, suburban, and exurban spaces in the twentieth century. The contributors examine such topics as the attractions of open space and rural gentrification in shaping urban development; the role of tourism in developing national parks, historical sites, and California's Napa Valley; and the roles of public art, gender, and ethnicity in shaping urban centers. City Dreams, Country Schemes reveals the values and expectations that have shaped the West and the lives of the people who inhabit it.

Emphasizing the voices of activists, this book’s diverse contributors examine communities’ common experiences with environmental injustice, how they organize to address it, and the ways in which their campaigns intersect with related movements such as Black Lives Matter and Indigenous sovereignty. The global COVID-19 pandemic exposed the ways in which BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) communities and white working-class communities have suffered disproportionately from the crisis due to sustained exposure to toxic land, air, and water, creating a new urgency for addressing underlying conditions of systemic racism and poverty in North America. In addition to exploring the historical roots of the Environmental Justice movement in the 1980s and 1990s, the volume offers coverage of recent events such as the DAPL pipeline controversy, the Flint water crisis, and the rise of climate justice. The collection incorporates the experiences of rural and urban communities, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, Puerto Ricans, and Indigenous peoples in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The chapters offer instructors, undergraduate and graduate students, and general readers a range of accessible case studies that create opportunities for comparative and intersectional analysis across geographical and ethnic boundaries.

National parks played a unique role in the development of wildfire management on American public lands. With a different mission and powerful meaning to the public, the national parks were a psychic battleground for the contests between fire suppression and its use as a management tool. Blazing Heritage tells how the national parks shaped federal fire management.

The wilderburb on the North Shore of Vancouver may be the only place on the entire planet where raw wilderness meets the concrete urban jungle head on; cougars hiding from moms with prams on an afternoon walk. It seems inconceivable that some mad scientist wants to tame the wilderburb and turn it into wasteland, but that is exactly what is happening. The federal government has played politics with the beast and decided to turn it into a slag heap. On the south shore of the inlet, oil tankers and refineries have long belched forth their smoke, but now in the midst of a looming climate crisis the government wants to morph the shore into the Land of Mordor. Huge new docking facilities are planned. Several hundred oil tankers every year will be allowed - encouraged! - to tie up in the harbour and load up vast tonnages of toxic raw bitumen dug up from the Tar Sands of Alberta, to sail through the pristine Salish Sea where Orcas splash and play, off to some toxic land where the light of day is seldom seen and where dreams go to die.To date the wilderbeast lies in slumber, unprovoked yet by any sticks jabbed into its soft white underbelly, immune to the distant shouting of robber barons and dirt-nosed cowboys from faraway towns thirsting for yet more profit, but the beast is starting to stir. While it's not yet a rumble, a snarl is begging to form deep in its throat. The wilderburb is waking up to its own imminent demise and will fight back. Angry voices are being heard. A showdown is about to commence between the forces of evil and the eco-warriors who would save the planet. The War in the Woods, Part Two, is about to commence.
