Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the tale of the US Forestry Service and their first decade of existence. The creation of the service coincided with the receding of the frontier and the encroachment of industry on the untouched wilds of America. The book focuses on the pressing issues the service faced at its inception and how they continue to shape the bureau's mission and influence the public to this day. The book touches on the birth of the conservation movement, the expansion of national forests, the implementation of fire management, and the bureaucratic battles the service faced when dealing with the powerful timber industry. The author thoroughly explores how the service's earliest successes and failures laid the groundwork for what the modern agency has become. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of environmentalism in America, or in the establishment and development of the country's national parks.
