Podcast: Stephen Trimble on Bargaining for Eden

Jul 09, 2008 by KCPW

Recorded July 10, 2008, at the City Library in SLC

In conjunction with the City Library and The King's English Bookshop, KCPW presents Stephen Trimble talking about his new book Bargaining for Eden: The Fight for the Last Open Spaces in America. It's part of the City Library's Authors Live! series.

Trimble explores the tension between community and development in the West, taking a hard look at the values that shape developers and land use policy, searching for historical context, understanding of power politics, and the essence of America.

A Salt Lake City writer and photographer, Trimble has published 22 books, specifically about western wild lands and natural history. His work has earned him the Sierra Club's Ansel Adams Award for photography and conservation; The National Cowboy Museum's Western Heritage "Wrangler" Award; and a Doctor of Humane Letters from his alma mater, Colorado College, honoring his efforts to increase understanding of Western landscapes and peoples. This fall, Trimble will be a Wallace Stegner Fellow at the University of Utah's Tanner Humanities Center.

Free and open to the public, you can join us in the audience in the Tessman Auditorium at Library Square ... or tune in Thursday, July 10, 7 p.m., for a live broadcast of Authors Live! with Stephen Trimble on KCPW.
