The Western Confluence: A Guide to Governing Natural
Resources. M. McKinney and W. Harmon. 2004. Island Press, Washington,
DC. 297 pp. $60 cloth, $30 paperback.
Matthew McKinney and William Harmon have separated Western

evolution of processes for resource management in the western United
States over the last 150 years.
