Nf01-472 Growing Annual Flowers, Anne Streich, Susan D. Schoneweis, Steven Rodie

Quaking Aspen And The Human Experience: Dimensions, Issues, And Challenges, Stephen F. Mccool

Aspen Bibliography

Humans assign four types of meanings to aspen landscapes: (1) instrumen- tal meanings dealing with the attainment of a goal—such as production of pulp or provision of recreation opportunities; (2) aesthetic meanings; (3) cultural/symbolic meanings dealing with spiritual and social attachments to landscapes; and (4) individual/expressive meanings derived out of interactions with aspen landscapes at the personal level.
