Description
This book examines the science, philosophy, and law of ecosystem management. It shows how efforts to make federal protection of ecosystems the centerpiece of national environmental policy rest on weak science and a worldview that places concern fo the well-being of nature ahead of the well-being of people. The author goes on to suggest how we can improve our stewardship of the land.
