Whether and where there was gold to be mined redefined land, mineral, and water laws. Where rain falls (and where it doesn’t) determines whose fruit grows on trees and whose appears on slot machines. The book combines geology with history to show how the particular forces and conditions that created the Sierra Nevada have influenced daily life in the United States, both in the past and into the present day.</p><p>Follow these <a href="http://cires.colorado.edu/directions/walking-directions-cires-building-main-campus" rel="nofollow">walking directions</a> to the CIRES auditorium.</p></div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content-media ucb-article-content-media-right col-lg"> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--media paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/cej/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/article-image/more_than_just_mountains.jpg?itok=Mqe3uJEl" width="1500" height="2122" alt="More than Just Mountains, a book talk, will take place Thursday, Feb. 8 from 5 to 8 p.m. in the CIRES auditorium, Â鶹ӰԺ."> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Wed, 24 Jan 2018 22:40:34 +0000 Anonymous 208 at /cej
