OverviewBy the end of the millennium, many Americans realized they had made some serious misjudgments in their nation’s interactions with the natural world. America’s treasured national parks, while remaining immensely popular, were not immune to this damaging phenomenon, and it had become clear that preservation alone would no longer be enough. By this time, repair and restoration were necessary. Can the United States reverse the mistaken policies that severely damaged the crown jewels of its national park system? This thoughtful and hopeful book, in turns analytical and personal, delves into that important question, focusing on several of America’s most-loved public institutions.
