Book Title: Beyond the 100th Meridian
Author: Wallace Stegner
Selection Statement:
This book provides a historical account of how our natural landscapes continue to shape our value orientations, our livelihoods, and ultimately our well-being. I first read it in graduate school, and it helped me discover how my own childhood growing up on a small farm just beyond the 100th meridian, and near a wildlife refuge, shaped me and my professional path researching and teaching about the importance of sustainable natural resources management.
