Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Who owns the West? All of us, of course, says William Kittredge, but this simple answer. is sort of beside the point when we get down to considering questions of fairness. Stay joyous under the sun and moon, in the rain and out; that's another halfway answer. Kittredge gives us not easy answers but a sustained meditation on what it means to be a Westerner today. The three essays in Who Owns the West? compose both a celebration of the new West and an elegy for an old West that is fading. Noting that our ideas of paradise originate in childhood, Kittredge describes, in Heaven on Earth, growing up in the highland desert country of east Oregon, an ancient horseback world that is mostly gone. Next, in Lost Cowboys and Other Westerners, he gives us a series of portraits of inhabitants of the region. Finally, in Departures, Kittredge turns his eye to the West today, the new heartland nation that is being born from the pain and the glory of the past and the struggles and anger of the present. …

Hardback. Condition: Good. The Nature of Generosity is at once a natural sequel to the acclaimed memoir Hole in the Sky and an entirely unique masterwork from one of the finest writers of the American West. Taking as his topic the ordinary yearning to take physical and emotional care, William Kittredge embarks upon a literary and philosophical grand tour that explores the very core of who we are. Whether he's recalling a childhood in Oregon, touring Europe, or studying photographs of Japanese gardens in a bookstore in New York City, Kittredge's connections are as unexpected as they are inspiring. Shattering the myth that survival of the fittest means survival of the violent, or the cruelest, or the selfish, Kittredge imagines a world in which altruism dominates--and offers ample evidence that this is not an unreachable utopian ideal.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. One of our finest writers about the American West brings all his experience to bear on a wide-ranging, exhilarating of the Southwest for the National Geographic Directories series. William Kittredge has spent part of every year for the past two decades in and around Arizona. He has travelled the main highways of the area and most of the back roads, and in that time has befriended many of the great local figures of the Southwest. Kittredge will explore "the territory that runs from the Grand Canyon south through Phoenix and Tuscan to Nogales. It includes urban sprawl and the desert border with Mexico, Native American pueblos, Agribusiness cotton plantations, salt flat deserts and snowy mountains, semi-defunct mining towns where old-timers like to wear six-guns to the tavern, new age hippie gardening enclaves, and enormous desert parklands- the Grand Canyon, Hopi Villages, Los Alamos." From his unique perspective as part-time resident and full-time observer, Kittredge will introduce us to "desert rats at the swap meets on the banks of Colorado, theoretical physicists in Santa Fe, aging druggists from Minnesota who live in year-round retirement towns, Hopi mothers and their daughters, and renegade punk-rock street people, to hear what they're thinking as they confront the complexities of the future.".…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In Taking Care, William Kittredge relates his coming of age on a property his family transformed from a farm dependent on horses to a modern agribusiness. Painfully reflecting on the abandonment of old ways, Kittredge calls for new, radical stories about the West that will foster compassion and caret "Earnest, attentive, and ruminative." --KIRKUS   "Our character is formed," William Kittredge writes, "by the stories we learn to live in."  In Taking Care, Kittredge tells the story of his family's homestead in the Great Basin, a ranch worked by horses when he was a boy and transformed into an agribusiness by the time he was a grown man. Recounting his life as farmer and writer, he acknowledges the desire for efficiency that led him to spoil the land he loves. He writes about the tough issues of owning property and owning up to who and what we are. And he advocates for a new set of radical stories about the West, stories to foster compassion and caretaking. The future, he argues here, begins with narratives that allow us to give back to the "systems of order that have supported us.before what we adore simply vanishes."  "Earnest, attentive, and ruminative.For William Kittredge, our stories--from cultural hallmarks to everyday utterances--bespeak our system of values, and our conduct toward the land is the measure of our decency. . . . Kittredge's hope is to add his voice to a coherent myth our society can inhabit." --Kirkus  "Stories direct our actions, William Kittredge argues, serving as a connector to disparate parts of our lives. They are essential for the survival of our society." --Library Journal aking.…
