looking for someone has read = Wilderness & The American Mind by Roderick Frazier Nash (4th ed., 2001); Land Use and Society by Rutherford Platt (rev’d ed., 2004)

you will be required to submit an in-depth paper that (1) synthesizes the basic concepts covered in the course readings to date and (2) applies those concepts to a contemporary issue of your choice.  The issue may be drawn from current debates on local/Utah land policies or those occurring in other geo-political contexts outside of the state or the country.  Alternatively, the issue may be drawn from the intersection between land policy and other academic disciplines outside the fields of urban ecology/planning.
