Bargaining_ldby Stephen Trimble ’72

Stephen Trimble tackles the paradox of the modern West: How do people inhabit and develop a rapidly vanishing landscape? Trimble weaves the important tale of public land transformed into a commercial ski resort with his own construction of a second home near a national park. This juxtaposition elevates the book from polemic to a serious discussion of the many facets of land development.
