The Western Confluence: A Guide to Governing
Natural Resources
Matthew McKinney and William
Harmon
297 pages, softcover $30, hardcover $60.
Island Press, 2004
Authors McKinney and Harmon look at
the West’s endless tug-of-wars over water, land use, fire
management and wildlife — issues, they say, best resolved
through collaboration, negotiation, or consensus. That’s not
easy, given the sturdy independence of Westerners and their broad
range of values and viewpoints. The book moves beyond simply
suggesting we "share the sandbox": It provides practical strategies
for resolving disputes.
