This volume is a cogent empirical analysis of the interplay between
a region's natural amenities and its socioeconomic evolution. It
focuses on the rural sectors of America's Intermountain West
region, which lies between the Cascades and Sierra Nevada mountains
to the west and the Rocky Mountains to the east. Coherently
structured and meticulously detailed, it adds much to our
understanding of the ways an area's forests, lakes, mountains,
parkland and historic attractions affect residents' sense of
well-being as well as the sociodemographic and economic changes
they experience. The book examines patterns of growth and change
linked to the emergence of 'New West' conditions, assessing their
implications for the wider community as well as discussing the
impact these trends could have on the consumption of natural
resources. It also points to ways in which communities and their
development can be managed sustainably. The tight geographical
focus of this valuable resource ensures a depth of analysis which
can be applied to similar regions worldwide. Based on a
large-scale, random-sample survey of both full-time and seasonal
residents, it provides a much-needed overview of the macro-level
economic, demographic, and social transformations affecting rural
communities in America. As such, the book has relevance for all
researchers concerned with rural development, the changes impacting
rural landscapes, and natural resource management.
