Description
Three natural resource managers provide a history of public lands in the United States while considering current environmental and social problems. The book recommends policy and management directions and encourages readers to get involved in public lands stewardship. The chapters offer contributions from writers and scientists such as Bruce Battitt, Rick Bass, and Patricia Nelson Limerick. The topics include land health and broad-scale declines in forest and rangeland; the public and private land connection, and river and stream health; and our search for sustainability. The book includes several black and white charts and maps. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
