Description

In the early 1950s, the newly founded RFF convened the Mid-Century Conference, where more than 1,500 leaders could 'exchange viewpoints on important resource issues that appear to be of continuing significance for at least the next generation.' This collection gathers RFF's classic, most enduring works on subjects that have always been on the heart of RFF's research agenda, including how to value and measure the benefits from nature and how to effectively conserve and manage resources in an increasingly interconnected world. The RFF Library Collection brings back landmark books published by Resources for the Future throughout its nearly 60-year history as the pre-eminent research institution devoted exclusively to environmental issues. The Collection offers individuals and institutions the most classic and relevant literature across a range of environmental issues.

Description

First Published in 2011. The purposes of this book are to analyze and describe the National Resources Planning Board (NRPB) and its direct predecessor agencies in the setting of their times, and to draw any lessons their experience offers us today. Resources for the Future (RFF) has a long tradition of conducting studies of government agencies that administer natural resource programs and policies. This book is in the RFF tradition of institutional studies with exhaustive coverage of an agency no longer in existence to anticipate emerging problems and provide a comprehensive viewpoint of its successes and failures. The audience for this book are all persons interested in government, natural resources, economic and social studies, and in planning generally.
