awesome book. awesome. have read it many time and lent it out to many folks. the story of the west continued long after fred jack turner's speech....but "wrestling in their underpants" just about made me spit out my coffee.

From an environmental catastrophe comes the American conservation movement...can one hope for the same from this BP oil spill catastrophe? Great book, great idea...greater possibilities for changes in thinking about our stewardship of the earth!
