In The Wild and the Domestic, Barney Nelson brings her sane and
balanced vision to bear on some of the most heated issues of our
time. Her informed and loving voice for our responsible use of
land, our responsibility for other species, and responsible living
provides a vital and seldom-articulated perspective on ranching and
the rancher’s stewardship.""—Mary Clearman Blew, author of
Jackalope Dreams
""Barney Nelson has written a stunning book in The Wild and the
Domestic, desperately needed as we plan the future of the Real
West, the one more and more of us live in these days. This woman
has ridden and written over some of the slickest rock in the nation
and found a trail for others to follow: it is ‘time someone stuck
up for the cows,’ as she says, and no one has done it better than
Barney Nelson, who deserves to be ranked with the best writers of
the century.”—Linda Hasselstrom, author of No Place Like Home
