Book Review

Crow's Range: An Environmental History of the Sierra Nevada. By David Beesley. (Reno: University of Nevada Press, 2004. xx + 390 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, index. $39.95.)

While mountains dominate much of the western landscape, they remain peripheral in the region's historiography. David Beesley's Crow's Range is a valuable effort to correct the imbalance. The author attempts to compose a bioregional history of the entire Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. The result is a valuable synthesis, an effective interpretation of historical stages of land use, and a model for studies of the West's other mountain regions.
