Hot off the Press: BETWEEN URBAN AND WILD: REFLECTIONS FROM COLORADO

The University of Iowa Press is proud to present our newest Bur Oak Book, Between Urban and Wild: Reflections from Colorado, by Andrea M. Jones!

Praise for Between Urban and Wild
"Andrea Jones's Between Urban and Wild is a touching account of her intimate connection with the natural world of central Colorado, a land that is, like her book, simultaneously severe and beautiful. Through a combination of flashbacks and present-day musings, she invites the reader to appreciate the joys, challenges, and sublimity of this landscape. She offers up a deeply personal, deeply affecting narrative of a life inseparable from the land."—Matthew Wynn Sivils

"Westerners have arrived at a Y in Nature's rocky road—a forked path littered with ethical questions. In Between Urban and Wild, Andrea Jones offers humble and probing answers to the question of whether it's too late for Westerners to find an integral way of being with the land, and not just on the land. Her book offers hope."—Page Lambert, author, In Search of Kinship: Modern Pioneering on the Western Landscape
