Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The American West is often portrayed as a place of rugged, unending landscapes presenting us with boundless opportunities. But the land is more fragile and resources more finite than popular perceptions acknowledge. This collection of essays, A Watershed Moment, reveals tensions between a culture of economic growth and personal freedom and the ecological, economic, and social constraints set by community values and the land itself. As Westerners and their communities come up against these limits, the volume editors highlight issues of sustainability endemic to the region and to the nation as a whole. The volume presents practical approaches to land use, land management, and community planning that are motivated by philosophical views on justice, quality of life, and sustainability in the American West. The contributors are policymakers, government employees, land and water managers, urban planners, biologists, tribal members, writers, and academics from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives. The result is a compelling vision of place-based, policy-oriented sustainability across the West.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition of this analysis of the office environment by Robert Propstartist, educator, inventor of the Action Office System (the world's first such open-plan, modular system) and then-President of the Herman Miller Research Corporation. Per Herman Miller's current online literature: "In this classic treatise, Robert Propst spells out his vision for the modern office. As Herman Miller's Research Director, Propst's investigation of "the office and the human performer" asserts that the constant, exponential change in technology and modes of work has left the physical environment lagging far behind. Since the revolution in work was (and still is!) based on communication, Propst argues that networks must be the primary concern. Outlining the principle operations for Action Office 2, Propst states that "almost any space can be upgraded" and allow people to adjust their offices with ease and grace, without imposing large costs or delays. In theory (if not in practice) this new facility would place power in the hands of the people who actually inhabit a workspace." Published in 1968 by Herman Miller with a Preface by Hugh DuPree. 8vo (8.5" x 11"), printed wrappers, 71 pages, b/w and some color illustrations, also some use of color papers. De-lamination to joints. Front hinge weakened. Light bumping and chipping to extremities.
