Review

... A valuable book on the subject, detailing the history of the "D-2" debate and explaining the results. Here is a chance to get acquainted with national parks from Aniakchak to the Yukon and wildlife refuges from the Arctic to the Aleutians. Whether you agree or not with the outcome of the national-interest-lands legislation, you will be better informed. -- Seattle Times
