The Land Rights Movement and the New Environmental Debate

A Wolf in the Garden

The Land Rights Movement and the New Environmental Debate

Description

Debates concerning the federal role in regulating industry and in managing the nation's public lands are becoming increasingly contentious. This is in part due to the rise of well-organized and ideologically energized land rights movements that have vowed to resist expansion of environmental regulations and even to roll back existing environmental statutes. A Wolf in the Garden is the only book available that assembles the arguments of key thinkers in the land rights and the environmental movements. The broad range of essays in this collection unveils hidden dimensions of the debate and explores opportunities for the environmental movement to revitalize itself by taking advantage of recent changes in the political landscape.

Tom Wolf

AWolf in the Gardenis probably the best one-volume introduction to the land rights movement available to scholars today. . . It succeeds remarkably well conveying the substance and complexity of a debate that will doubtless grow in importance in years to come.

Karl Jacoby, Brown University, Local Enviornment
The most broad-based and sophisticated look yet at the expanding battle between local interests and federal authority in the West. . . . An impressive line-up of scholars and writers whose expertise in western issues is unparalleled. These fine thinkers offer insight and potential solutions from all sides of the political spectrum.

Environmental History
. . . very good collection of essays . . . I could not put the book down.

Environment
Anyone concerned about the wise use movement or the environmental movement-and that means anyone interested in the common estate of the federal lands-needs to read this book.

R. W. Behan, Northern Arizona University
A timely and provocative exploration of the continuing struggle between environmentalists and property rights advocates for control over the western natural resource policy agenda. The essays offer fresh insights into how we got here and how we might advance the debate.

Robert B. Keiter, University of Utah
