Jared Farmer Livres

The book explores the profound loss experienced in the American West, particularly through the example of Glen Canyon, which was transformed into Lake Powell. Jared Farmer delves into the history of exploration, development, and the impact of tourism on the Four Corners region. He examines the emotional and environmental costs of such changes, questioning how society copes with loss and the ethics of tourism. By presenting a cautionary tale, Farmer encourages readers to appreciate and preserve the remaining beauty of the landscape, fostering a deeper connection to the environment.

Shrouded in the lore of legendary Indians, Mt Timpanogos beckons the urban populace of Utah. And yet, no 'Indian' legend graced the mount until Mormon settlers conjured it - once they had displaced the local Indians, the Utes, from their actual landmark, Utah Lake. This title tells the story of this curious shift.

Historian Jared Farmer tells the globe-spanning story of humanity’s deep fascination with the oldest living trees, the lessons in survival they offer us, and how to alter our behaviour so that the young trees of today can become ancient themselves.
