Book excerpt: Colorado—seen as "the" place to ski, the ideal environment to live in, and a source of energy the country needs desperately—is best understood, write the authors of this descriptive and interpretive geography, as part of its regional setting. Water that flows from Colorado's snowfields supplies irrigation water for crops as far away as California. Tourists have a stake in Colorado's environment, as well as its economy. Colorado's vast energy and mineral resources cannot be developed without consideration of the impact on surrounding states. And many aspects of Colorado's future are dependent on influences that come from beyond the state's political boundaries. Colorado, incorporating the most recent (1980) census data and illustrated with more than 200 photographs, tables, and figures, is the only up-to-date geography of the state available. The authors look at Colorado first from the perspective of the physical setting it shares with its neighbors and then examine the interaction of people with the land. They also analyze Colorado's major industries—agriculture, tourism, mining, and manufacturing—and describe such Colorado phenomena as the way population tends to aggregate along the eastern slope of the mountains and how this population concentration has affected agriculture, water use, and industrial development. Numerous examples illustrate the practical workings of the complex interrelationships between Colorado's environment and its inhabitants. The book is designed to serve both as a text for courses in Colorado and Rocky Mountain geography, and as an authoritative source of information about the state for newcomers, as well as long-time residents.

Download or read book The Nature of Southwestern Colorado written by Deborah D. Paulson and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travellers pass through one jaw-dropping landscape after another where the snowy San Juan Mountains meet the canyon and mesa country of the Colorado Plateau in southwestern Colorado. Yet this small but remarkably varied region also plainly reveals a history of hard use, including logging scars, mine-polluted rivers, and overgrazed grasslands and forests. In The Nature of Southwestern Colorado, Deborah D. Paulson and William L. Baker guide readers through this awe-inspiring land and its human legacies, describing in detail the ecology of its six sub-regions, showing readers how to recognise human influences on the flora and fauna, and discussing current trends. Although some of the policies and attitudes in southwestern Colorado continue to harm the natural world, a number of community projects suggest a promising future. Examining these trends, the authors search for signs of a new relationship between people and nature emerging here, one that enables people to protect, restore, and coexist with the wild.

This panoramic history summarises the origins of this work force and the social and economic changes the workers experienced as industrialisation and capitalism transformed employment in the nineteenth century. He focuses on the Southwest and California in particular in recounting worker efforts to organise trade unions over the past one hundred years. As the author traces the historic evolution of struggles to gain economic equity and ethnic and gender equality, he introduces the individual experiences of many courageous workers.

Download or read book San Juan Country written by Thomas Melvin Griffiths and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the West a region is often called a country: Navajo country. Big Bend country. Mormon country. Four Corners country. Powder River country. Hopi country. Perhaps a surfeit of space led the westering pioneers to be profligate with the names they bestowed on the land: a modest region of the West was often larger than a whole European country so it deserved the name. A "country" in the western American sense usually took its name from its distinguishing feature -- physical, historical, social, institutional. In this way, the San Juan country of southwestern Colorado came by its name. San Juan Country covers about 20,000 square miles. At its heart lies the mountain mass which gives the region its name. The mountains themselves embrace about 12,000 square miles, with an additional 8,000 square miles of plateau and river valleys adjacent to the mountains. All except the small southeastern tip of San Juan country lies in southwestern Colorado. The San Juans are part of the Rocky Mountain system--the great mountain barrier which dominates the western third of the North American continent, separating the waters which flow to the Atlantic from those which drain to the Pacific. Geologically unique, with a fascinating history and a stunning beauty equalled by few other regions of the world and surpassed by none, the San Juans are one of the state's top ten tourist attractions in a recent survey, five were in or on the edge of San Juan country. Divided into two parts, "The Land" and "The Human Interface," San Juan Country explores the entire spectrum of the captivating San Juan story from its geologic birth and development, through the earliest inhabitants, the Spanish influence and the Ute problem. Other chapters deal with the mining story; the area's wildlife and climate; the destructive power of an avalanche; water, agriculture, and the current role of recreational entrepreneurship in the overall scheme of things. Beautifully written and profusely illustrated, the book captures all the spirit and mystique that is the essence of San Juan country.
