University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

Karen Fisher-Vanden Professor of Environmental and Resource Economics

Book Title: Refuge

Author: Terry Tempest Williams

Selection Statement:

I met Terry Tempest Williams when I was first starting out as an assistant professor of Environmental Studies at Dartmouth College, where we had to arrange overflow auditoriums for her lectures due to the large crowds that would come to hear her speak. Her work has always had a profound effect on anyone who reads it.  Refuge provides a powerful message on the connection of family and environment.
