"Losing Eden: An Environmental History of the American West"

How much do we owe the land around us? What does it mean to be a good steward … and to what extent are we too focused on the economy at the expense of the environment?

Those issues are argued about all across the U.S. but probably no more so than in the West.

We spoke to Sara Dant, author of the new book "Losing Eden: An Environmental History of the American West."

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
