Synopsis

For 45 years, this classic textbook on wilderness management has served as the most comprehensive information available on the stewardship and protection of wilderness resources and values. The seventeen chapters outline the history, legislation, policies, planning, and stewardship carried out by the four federal land managing agencies—Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Fish and Wildlife Service—entrusted with stewardship and protection of the more than 110-million-acre National Wilderness Preservation System. Written for wilderness and wildlands planners, managers, stewards, advocates, and educators, this revised fifth edition builds on the material of the first four editions and extensively updates chapters on: international wilderness; managing for appropriate wilderness conditions; wilderness ecosystems; fire in wilderness ecosystems; ecological impacts of wilderness recreation and their management; and wilderness visitor management. This textbook is an invaluable guide for resource managers, students, scientists, policy makers, and for wilderness advocates and visitors around the world.
