Running Out: In Search of Water on the High Plains

★ National Book Award for Non-Fiction Longlist

In Running Out, Lucas Bessire presents a economic analysis centered on in Search of Water on the High Plains. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of business & economics and nature. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Together, these elements make Running Out an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
