<p> Albert Way provides a fascinating and enlightening environmental history of a critically endangered ecosystem, its modest champion, and the incendiary ideas that formed the basis of management for species diversity. --Frederick R. Davis, author of The Man Who Saved Sea Turtles: Archie Carr and the Origins of Conservation Biology

This book would make an ideal text for undergraduate or graduate environmental history courses. The book's purpose as a historical telling of the development of ecological land management also makes it relevant to those working in this field, as well as those interested in Aldo Leopold and others who shaped this movement. Finally, the book will appeal to general readers interested in the environmental movements of the past or present. --Jamie L. Conklin, Electronic Green Journal

[A] lively, readable book. . . .[F]or those interested in changing models of land conservation and forestry during the twentieth century, especially on private land, it is essential reading on a key figure in these transfigurations. Finally, it is a wonderful example of the insights that can be gained by situating the history of scientific knowledge production in its environmental context. --Jeremy Vetter, Environmental History
