Abstract

"Range" is one of those consciously undefined words in our language. Rather than generating a single image, it produces many, from cowboys to science to art. Rancher/writer Sherm Ewing has put together a book that reinforces the complexity of range as a concept, as a field for economic activity, and as a subject of scientific inquiry.
