Steve will present his new book "Bargaining for Eden" at 2 p.m., followed by a more indepth examination of the issues at 3:15 p.m. -- exclusively for Colorado College alumni.

Bargaining for Eden explores the tension between community and development in what Stephen Trimble terms “the Middle-Aged West.” Trimble looks for common ground as open space shrinks in 21st Century America. In this talk, he tells provocative stories, shows slides, and reads excerpts from the text--all aimed at creating conversation, our only hope for the future.

Salt Lake City writer and photographer Stephen Trimble has published twenty-two books. His bedrock focus is the land—western wildlands and natural history. The breadth of awards earned by his books mirrors the wide embrace of his work: the Sierra Club's Ansel Adams Award for photography and conservation; The National Cowboy Museum’s Western Heritage “Wrangler” Award; and a Doctor of Humane Letters from his alma mater, Colorado College, honoring his efforts to increase our understanding of Western landscapes and peoples and his choice to remain a stubborn generalist. This fall, Trimble will be a Wallace Stegner Fellow at the University of Utah’s Tanner Humanities Center.
