About audio and ebooks - Request Exam Copy
Over 634 million acres of the United States — nearly a million square miles — are federally owned. These American Lands is both a history and a celebration of that inheritance. First published in 1986, the book was hailed by Wallace Stegner as 鈥渢he only indispensable narrative history of the public lands.鈥 This completely revised and updated edition is an unsurpassed resource for everyone who cares about, visits, or works with public land in the United States. With over 75 pages of new material, the volume covers:
- national parks
- national forests
- national resource lands
- wildlife refuges
- designated wildernesses
- wild and scenic rivers
- Alaska lands
- national trails
Each chapter outlines the history of the unit of public lands under discussion, clarifies the resource use and policy conflicts that are currently besetting it, and provides a detailed agenda of management, expansion, and preservation goals.
