Managing Public Lands in the Public Interest: (Environmental Regeneration)
Editorial Reviews
Choice
"A collection of papers by distinguished authors selected by two preeminent authorities on public land management. Actually written more in the style of essays, the papers give a good overview of the problems and issues confronted in public land management, including the topics of privatization, multiple use, public policy development, the planning process, and private use of public lands. The authors come from a variety of different backgrounds and perspectives, which adds richness to the discussions--lobbyists, private industry representative, planners, academics, public land managers, and think-tank researchers. Most of the topics covered are in a cursory manner with little depth added to the discussions. Each essay concludes with a simple, useful bibliography, which is supplemented with a listing of background readings at the end of the book. The style is generally easy enough for the moderately knowledgeable citizen. The book would be most useful as supplementary readings for upper-division college students and/or as a catalyst for discussion in a graduate course on public land policy."
