Thriving Paradox: Life and Beauty on the Colorado Plateau

摘要

Welcome to the Colorado Plateau, a gigantic uplifted plateau that extends north into southern Wyoming, east to the Colorado Rockies, and west into the Basin and Range region of Nevada. My hope is that we can see the Colorado Plateau as a helpful case study, a microcosm that allows us to see the many tangled threads of nature and of human natures that have created a world where we are needed to help redefine the role of stewards and rediscover and refine the knowledge and understanding that have sustained human civilizations through difficult times in the past. It is a big country, full of stories... and many of the stories are riddled with paradox.
