This book looks at the struggles of ordinary and not so ordinary people as they battled to own the natural world, It is set in the twentieth century, a century with an affinity for dominating nature that extends far beyond the comparatively mild appetite of Twain's frontier settlers. My task is to investigate a variety of changing modern environments - Slide Mountains all of them - and the dilemmas raised when they confronted the sometimes absurd provisions of modern property law.
