    Stephen Trimble presents his new book, Bargaining for Eden: The Fight for the Last Open Spaces in America, which explores the tension between community and development in the West. The book takes a hard look at the values that shape developers and land use policy, and searches for historical context, understanding of power politics, and the essence of America. In his interactive presentation, Trimble tells provocative stories, shows slides, and reads excerpts from the book all aimed at creating conversation, our only hope for the future. A Q&A session follows the presentation, after which Trimble will be available to sign books. Salt Lake City writer and photographer Stephen Trimble has published 22 books. His focus is on the land, specifically western wild lands 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, as well as 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.
