detailed history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Kraft explains the history of the environmental policies of the US federal government, going up to late 2005. It is a detailed analysis, with copious footnotes pointing to original sources. The narrative describes a constant tension between the US electorate wanting a cleaner environment and the unwillingness to accept higher taxes or other costs to achieve this. In some ways, it summarises aptly the various federal Acts, in how they were formulated, and the amount of enforcement that went into them. Other tensions are shown to exist in such agencies as the Bureau for Land Management. Which has often tended towards allowing extensive resource use of its land, in contrast with the Forest Service. The book's characterisation of the BLM may be a little ironic. As it has come under constant criticism from ranchers and miners for what they see as overly restrictive policies.
