Uniting Mountain & Plain: Cities, Law, and Environmental Change Along the Front Range. By Kathleen A. Brosnan. Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2002. xii + 276 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, index. Cloth $29.95.

Recent environmental histories of cities—many of which pay homage to William Cronon's Nature's Metropolis (W.W. Norton, 1992)—have successfully broadened the parameters of the field by assimilating conceptual tools from different disciplines, including law, geography, and economics. Kathleen Brosnan's Uniting Mountain & Plain: Cities, Law, and Environmental Change Along the Front Range, is a fine example of this development. While Denver occupies the center of the narrative, Brosnan adeptly moves outward to examine a hierarchical network of Colorado cities as well as the legal, financial, and ecological transformations that entangled "mountain" and "plain" in the late nineteenth century.
