- Summary:
- There is a dynamic relationship among natural resource problems, policies, and philosophies. Throughout most of American history, natural resource policies reflected the dominant philosophy of cornucopianism. The result has increasingly been a range of federal policies which reflect aspects of all three conflicting philosophies. This book analyzes the dynamic among natural resource politics, policies, and philosophies. Each chapter explores in depth the development of policies toward the US's soil, wildlife, water, energy, grasslands, minerals, forests, and air.
