The Story of Place
Writer Craig Childs journeys into the unprotected Greater Canyonlands region, weighing its wilderness and ancient history against pressures for oil and extraction.
Stunning desert landscapes and a thoughtful guide ask what wild places are really worth.
“What is this place worth in oil? Where do we want to steer our civilization? What do we want left when we’re done? — Craig Childs, The Story of Place
