Foreword by Charles Wilkinson. That s a lot of folks. Greif and Johnson tell us that since 1945, the population of the west has increased from 17 million to 60 million. Chances are, you re one of those who moved here in recent decades. And like many people, you may have moved here in search of the leisurely, down-home way of western life.
Western ways persist, despite growth and increasing urbanization.
We expect to be and to have good neighbors. We re members of a community. It s part of the frontier heritage. Greif and Johnson s unique book is, I believe, a practical primer on western culture. Both are seasoned attorneys and mediators.
