4.0 out of 5 stars
amazing, but ...,
By Bean Bagg "whythis" (Western Hemsiphere) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A New Century for Natural Resources Management (Paperback)
in the ten years since this was published, there still hasn't been a book (that I know of) published that is better than this one at putting public lands management in an historic-then-contemporary context. it's also nice that it's an edited collection, b/c readers (i.e, students!) don't get lulled into complacent reading by single sytle or approach. highly recommended, though of course, needs to be supplemented with newer readings, particularly dealing with collaborative conservation and political ecology.
5.0 out of 5 stars
