“Trespass is a book full of transgressions because Amy Irvine has dared to examine the nature of orthodoxy, be it religion, environmentalism, or marriage. What saves this book from simply becoming an indulgence is her fidelity and love for all things beautiful and broken, especially the redrock desert of southern Utah. If erosion is the face of a changing landscape, Amy Irving has written erosional prose. This is a transformative memoir that dances between shadow and light.” —Terry Tempest Williams, author of Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place and Red: Passion and patience in the Desert

Our Issues Director recently published, Compromising Democracy: The Rise and Fall of the Second Conquest of Western Rangelands. In his book, Shepherd reveals a unique insight into the management of federal rangelands in the West.
"Shepherd shines new light on how back room deals and political power mongers as far away as Washington D.C. are impacting on-the-ground management and protection of Western public rangelands." -- George Wuerthner, editor of WildFire: A Century of Failed Forest Policy. You can order his book from Arches Book Company in Moab.
