Book synopsis

This groundbreaking book, now reissued with a new foreword and epilogue that bring the book up to the 2009 change in presidential administrations, traces the epic clash of values between traditional scenery-and-tourism management and emerging ecological concepts in America's national parks. Selected as one of the top twelve books on conservation by wilderness advocate Dave Foreman, "Preserving Nature" won Eastern National's 1997 Authors Award in the field of natural science or history, and Sellars won the 2008 George B. Hartzog, Jr., Award, given by the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees, mainly for his contributions through this book.
