Synopsis

Federal lands management in the American West, and the historical development of management regimes and institutions that strongly favour narrow corporate interests at the expense of the public good. The author traces the roots of the current situation and examines what can be done to rectify it. The timing of this book, at a high point of concern about the effects of globalisation on quality of life, equity, and communities, couldn't be better. The author blends a gruff, wizened tone with rigorous scholarly analysis to make an entertaining but informative case. His subject is a unique combination of social criticism, institutional analysis, history, and political science, guided by a credible moral compass. At times the moral outrage is palpable, though generally restrained.
