Edsall, author of The Age of Austerity: How Scarcity Will Remake American Politics ""For decades, Bruce Cain has provided insight into the past and present of the American West. In this important new book, he illuminates the region's future, and the implications for the country and the world, in dealing with climate challenges. I know so much more about my own home region after reading this book.""--James Fallows, author of Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey into the Heart of America
