Keeping Faith with Nature: Ecosystems, Democracy, and America’s Public Lands

This book examines the historical, scientific, political, legal, and institutional developments that are changing management priorities and policies – developments that compel us to view the public lands as an integrated ecological entity and a key biodiversity stronghold.
Arguing that we must integrate the new imperatives of ecosystem science with our devolutionary political tendencies, the author outlines a coherent new approach to natural resource policy for this century.
