Minteer; Robert E. Manning aWashington :bLynne Rienner Publishers,c2003 axiii, 349 p.;22cm ;c22cm aIndeks : p.405-416 a- Roderick Nash, professor emeritus of history and environmental studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of Wilderness and the American Mind "Conservation, and later environmentalism, including national park establishment and wilderness preservation, are among the best things to come from American culture. Like all enduring traditions, the conservation movement has proven capable of withstanding substantial buffeting from the winds of historical change. Reconstructing Conservation provides analysis of the historical debates and definition of the core philosophy of community and restraint that will carry the conservation concept into the future." - Karl Jacoby, author of Crimes Against Nature: Squatters, Poachers, Thieves, and the Hidden History of American Conservation "Although the conservation movement is now over a century old, the issues that it raises remain as significant as ever. These essays serve as a potent reminder of the richness of conservation's past and of the crucial question that the movement continues to pose about our future on this planet." - Donald Worster, Hall Distinguished Professor of American History, Department of History, University of Kansas, author of Nature's Economy: A History of Ecological Ideas "Conservationists may be short of money or political power, but this book is evidence that they have winning ideas. A stimulating and timely collection of some of the best conservation thinking around." Reconstructing Conservation brings together 23 leading scholars and practitioners to examine the classical conservation tradition and its value to contemporary environmentalism. Focusing not just on the tensions that have marked the recent debates over wilderness and environmentalism, the book represent a larger and ultimately more constructive and hopeful discussion over the proper course of future conservation scholarship and action.0 aEdited by Ben A.
