- Summary:
- DeVoto's West: History, Conservation, and the Public Good addresses many issues, including the plundering of resources by absentee eastern corporations, Westerners' conflicted relationship to exploitation, and the degradation of the national parks. DeVoto's West collects the best of Bernard DeVoto's conservation pieces for the first time. It will introduce a new generation to prose that has retained its relevance and remains a remarkably current and timely argument for protecting public lands.
