Public Lands Current Issues and Perspectives

Public lands constitute an enormous treasure for the American people. They are also constantly the focal point of debates on their exploitation, sale and stewardship. Most individuals tend to view them as part of the national heritage to be used for recreational purposes and preserved for the next generation. On the other hand, many businesses see them as potential sources of revenue. These two positions are in constant conflict with the organised businesses with their political clout and paid lobbyists having the upper hand. This book examines the key issues surrounding public lands.Donn, V. V. is the author of 'Public Lands Current Issues and Perspectives' with ISBN 9781590336366 and ISBN 1590336364.
