Reimagining a Place for the Wild contains a diverse collection of
personal stories that describe encounters with the remaining wild
creatures of the American West and critical essays that reveal
wildlife's essential place in western landscapes. Gleaned from
historians, journalists, biologists, ranchers, artists,
philosophers, teachers, and conservationists, these narratives
expose the complex challenges faced by wild animals and those
devoted to understanding them. Whether discussing keystone species
like grizzly bears and gray wolves or microfauna swimming the
thermal depths of geysers, these accounts reflect the authors'
expertise as well as their wonder and respect for wild nature. The
writers do more than inform our sensibilities; their narratives
examine both humanity's conduct and its capacity for empathy toward
other life. A selection of photos and paintings punctuates the
volume. This collection sprang from the Reimagine Western
Landscapes Symposium held at the University of Utah's
Taft-Nicholson Environmental Humanities Education Center in
Centennial Valley, Montana. These testaments join a chorus of
voices seeking improved relations with the western wild in the
twenty-first century.
