The book, curated by retired physician Richard L. Rubin with contributions from historian Andrew Gulliford and cultural activist Leeanna T. Torres, reflects on human relationships with land, wildlife, and community, emphasizing ecological restoration and ethical coexistence with endangered species such as wolves. Gulliford discusses the recent reintroduction of gray wolves in Colorado as a means to restore ecosystem balance, while Torres connects Leopold’s Land Ethic to the Hispano cultural concept of querencia, highlighting a deep, place-based kinship with land and water. Together, the essays advocate for a broadened environmental ethic that integrates ecological science with cultural heritage and community identity. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Western American Literature is the property of Western Literature Association and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
