Remedies for a New West

Book Release

November 12, 2009
7:00 PM, Eaton Humanities, 250

Join us as we celebrate the release of our newest book, Remedies for a New West: Healing Landscapes, Histories, and Cultures. Published by the University of Arizona Press, this exciting new collaborative volume, edited by Patty Limerick, Andrew Cowell, and Sharon Collinge, offers a kaleidoscope of viewpoints from engineers, biologists, linguists, musicians, lawyers, and others - on strategies for restoration, repair, and remediation in response to historical injuries to the people and landscapes of the West. More than "dealing with" or "solving," the concept of healing addresses not just symptoms but their underlying causes, offering not just a temporary cure but a permanent one. The books editors, and some of the contributors, will be on hand to read and talk about this project.

Books will be for sale after the event.
