From the author: The 889 local and regional land trusts in the United States conserve 2.7 million acres. However, the distribution of these groups is strikingly uneven from state to state. Colorado, historically a domain of secular commerce, has twenty-seven trusts protecting 42,000 acres; Utah, whose Mormon millennialism and social beliefs greatly hinder land-trust establishment, has only one trust protecting 220 acres. Although economic, political, and legal factors explain the uneven distribution of trusts in other settings, the underlying cultural geography of places must be comprehended before efforts are made to conserve them.

Excerpt: Upheaval Dome is an impact structure, the deeply eroded remnants of an impact crater, in Canyonlands National Park near the town Moab (Utah, United States). It is approximately 5 km in diameter and the crater is estimated to be less than 170 million years old (Jurassic or younger.) The crater is clearly visible on the surface as bright brown and black coloured concentric rings. Stratigraphically, the oldest formation exposed in the center of the dome is the Permian Organ Rock Shale. This is overlain by the Permian White Rim Sandstone. Both are sometimes considered part of the Cutler Formation. Overlying these are the Triassic Moenkopi Formation (which is bounded top and bottom by unconformities), the Chinle Formation, the cliff-forming Wingate Sandstone, the Kayenta Formation, and the crossbedded Triassic-Jurassic Navajo Sandstone. Structurally, the dome is quite anomalous. Most of the rock strata of Canyonlands National Park are flat-lying or gently dipping. The center of the structure is in fact a true dome. Some strata near the center are nearly vertical in orientation. Dips of 70 degrees have been measured in the Kayenta Formation on the U-shaped plateau surrounding the center of the structure. A syncline surrounds the center, where the axis forms a complete circle approximately two miles across. The syncline is primarily visible in the Navajo Sandstone. Furthermore, another anticline has been mapped to the north of the this ring syncline, which is also concentric with it. There wer...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=780578 ... Read more

This book is about Utah from an anti-Utah perspective.I did not like the angle that was taken in describing this wonderful state, even though I am from California.It is short and the pictures are nice, but it is prejudiced against Utahns. ... Read more
