Edited by Penny Harrison
Foreword by Denis Hayes (Seattle, WA)
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.
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.

PRAISE FOR THE MAGAZINE, OPEN SPACES
"The arrival of Open Spaces... prove(s) intelligent people still are creating serious magazines that don't dumb down to their readers." -The Oregonian "In these beautifully designed pages, Western writers address the decline of the salmon, cloning, business and the arts, medicine and poetry. It is thoughtful, eloquent and often witty. And the delightful, unique part is, these writers speak 'Northwest.'" -Faris Cassell, Eugene Register-Guard"Open Spaces is a fresh new voice from the Northwest. It is willing to take its readers seriously by treating complicated isues in depth, yet it is marked by a grace of expression that makes it a pleasure to read. I find myself looking forward to the next issue." -Dave Frohnmayer, President, University of Oregon
