  <default_description>Nominated for a National Book Critics Circle award, &lt;i&gt;Where the Bluebird Sings to the Lemonade Springs&lt;/i&gt; gathers together Wallace Stegner&amp;#8217;s most important and memorable writings on the American West: its landscapes, diverse history, and shifting identity; its beauty, fragility, and power. With subjects ranging from the writer&amp;#8217;s own &amp;#8220;migrant childhood&amp;#8221; to the need to protect what remains of the great western wilderness (which Stegner dubs &amp;#8220;the geography of hope&amp;#8221;) to poignant profiles of western writers such as John Steinbeck and Norman Maclean, this collection is a riveting testament to the power of place. At the same time it communicates vividly the sensibility and range of this most gifted of American writers, historians, and environmentalists.</default_description>
