On Rims and Ridges: The Los Alamos Area Since 1880 (TWENTIETH-CENTURY AMERICAN WEST)

By Hal K. Rothman

Book Overview

New Mexico's Pajarito Plateau encompasses the Bandelier National Monument and the atomic city of Los Alamos. On Rims and Ridges throws into stark relief what happens when native cultures and Euro-American commercial interests interact in such a remote area with limited resources. The demands of citizens and institutions have created a form of environmental gridlock more often associated with Manhattan Island than with the semiurban West, writes Hal K. Rothman.
