Dan Flores is retired as A. B. Hammond Professor of History at the University of Montana, Missoula. He is the author of numerous books, including Visions of the Big Sky: Painting and Photographing the Northern Rocky Mountain West and The Natural West: Environmental History in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains.
"As environmental history continues to mature, Flores's instructive
voice gently offers the long view of deep time we will need in
order to make humbler decisions about the near future of the
American West."
"I love a book that makes my brain hurt. I love an author who can
examine a vastly complex area of study with passion and reverence
and pepper the examination with the thoughts, beliefs and ideas of
others . . . Flores's writing in this collection of essays meets
both those criteria."
"Perhaps Flores does have a general answer for us: a mix of
pragmatism and romanticism. . . . Flores is with us in this
romanticism. . . . But he is also a scholar who follows his
research where it leads him. And that scholarship has produced a
wonderful and engaging book because he is torn in two directions:
toward the romantic and toward the evidence."
