Book Review

Ranching, Endangered Species, and Urbanization in the Southwest: Species of Capital. By Nathan F. Sayre. (Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 2002. xxvi + 278 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, index. $48.00.)

This interesting book describes the creation of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge and the effort to reintroduce the masked bobwhite, an endangered species, in the Altar Valley of southern Arizona. The narrative transcends its local focus by discussing issues of profound importance to environmentalists, historians, and westerners in general. Topics in the book include the often contentious relationship between ranchers and environmentalists, the shifting power relationships between local residents and government institutions at the local, state, and federal levels, the role of science and bureaucracy in grassland and wildlife management, and the economic pressures on ranching caused by the encroachment of low-density suburban development.
