Reviews
"Weber and Sultana provide an impressive font of information about all aspects of the American national park system past, present, and future. Chapter 12 should be read by anyone pondering the future of America's heritage. More than 75 maps demonstrate the power of geography in telling a story. The book will be a classic text for classes on public lands.--Lary Dilsaver ""editor of America's National Park System: The Critical Documents"" Weber and Sultana's book pulls together a lot of established knowledge about the national parks and sets it down in one place, intelligently and systematically. I expect it will be a major go-to citation source for national park studies for a long time.--Ronald Foresta ""author of America's National Parks and Their Keepers"" The Parks Belong to the People contains an enormous amount of information pertinent to the historical, political, economic, and cultural factors influencing the national park system in the United States. This wealth of information, along with the vast array of specific examples given to illustrate various points, makes this a valuable resource.--Randall K. Wilson ""author of America's Public Lands: From Yellowstone to Smokey Bear and Beyond"" Weber and Sultana deftly invoke the geographic processes that shaped the U.S. national park system as a whole even as they give individual units their unique characteristics. Comprehensive and accessible, The Parks Belong to the People should be in the library of everyone who cares about America's national parks.--Terence Young ""author of Heading Out: A History of American Camping"""
