In this absorbing chronicle, Sam Bingham shows the complex interplay between human society and the natural world. He reveals the intricate ecology of a community: from the newly arrived Wall Street couple carving out a life on the Colorado plains to the companies determined to divert the area's most precious resource - water - to cities throughout the West.
Among the remarkable characters who influence the Whittens' quest are a holistic ranch-management expert whose perceptions were honed in an African civil war, a mathematical genius who wins a legal case for the ranchers despite overwhelming odds, and Bud Williams, a man who can move a half-wild herd into a corral simply by putting his hands in his pockets and walking toward them.
