Recensione

"Federal Lands Revisited has all the hallmarks that have become familiar to readers of Clawson's past books and articles. He is fair-minded and shows much common sense while shedding new light on many topics. His book provides many useful details as well as other valuable information about federal land management. The literature in this field is knowledgeably surveyed and assessed. The current issues are related to a long history of federal resource management in which these issues have often risen before... If you have to pick one book to explore the latest thinking on government policies for federal land and mineral management, The Federal Lands Revisited is it. Altogether, it is one more fine achievement in a career that began with Clawson's first paper on federal resource managementin 1936." -- Journal of Political Economy
