Since its beginnings, Open Spaces has been on the cutting edge of thinking about the Pacific Northwest - an intelligent, provocative, beautifully conceived magazine for thoughtful readers who are searching for new ways to understand the region, themselves, and many of the major issues of our time.

The Pacific Northwest is known for its innovative solutions. Whether the challenge is integration with the natural world, the relationship of science and policy, learning to use what we know, or simply enjoying a balanced and fulfilling life, these writers, leaders in their respective disciplines, provide the background necessary to understand the issues and move forward. This lasting collection from the magazine is an invaluable resource for students, educators, and practitioners working in various fields as well as decision makers in government, business, and other sectors looking for real-world answers to ongoing conflicts.

Collectively, the writers in this volume apply their expertise and talent to provide an intelligent and informed context through which to see public issues and make sense of the changes that continue to shape the region and our world. Individually, they touch on our deepest sense of human experience and continuity and reflect the spirit of the Northwest.Open Spaces enlightens, challenges, and inspires.

Industry Reviews

"For the past thirty years or so, the Pacific Northwest has been recognized widely for the range and quality of its belles-lettres. A highly readable collection of essays, poems, reflections, and stories, Open Spaces will burnish the regions' literary reputation."

-- John M. Findlay * Oregon Historical Quarterly *

"The essays and articles were unusually intimate, smart, thoughtful, artful and deeply connected to key regional issues."

-- Gretchen Legler * High Country News *

"The Open Spaces anthology is essential reading for anyone moving to Cascadia and to the rest of the world."

-- Brett Campbell * Willamette Week *

"The metaphysics of Northwest identity, grounded in a confluence of storytelling and analysis, is a ceaseless quest, and Open Spaces, the magazine and now the book, does it better than most. The anthology's lineup of 30 writers [is] impressive for its range, readability, and depth of knowledge."

* Capitol Hill Times *
