William Philpott's Vacationland: Tourism and Environment in the Colorado High Country is the best book yet published on an array of critical topics in Colorado history. . . . What's more, Vacationland is far and away the most illuminating book yet written on postwar Colorado. Philpott's research is exhaustive, his prose is elegant but crystal-clear, and his interpretations are almost uniformly persuasive. Vacationland seems bound to earn vociferous praise from scholars. Yet this is also a book that merits widespread attention from general readers. If I were asked to recommend just one work to citizens or visitors seeking to orient themselves to the origins of the contemporary Colorado landscape, this would be it.
--Thomas Andrews "Center for Colorado and the West "The author utilizes a bevy of archival and public documents. Photographs, maps, charts, and a substantial bibliography support the book. Recommended.
-- (01/01/2014)Although a scholarly work of interest to environmental scientists and historians. . . the extraordinarily multidisciplinary nature of the content-- illustrating economic, marketing, political, and sociological aspects of our American history--gives it broad appeal. The entertaining narrative style makes the content accessible to an audience beyond experts, suitable for students, and general readers.
