Editorial Reviews

Anyone concerned about the wise use movement or the environmental movement—and that means anyone interested in the common estate of the federal lands—needs to read this book.

R. W. Behan

. . . very good collection of essays . . . I could not put the book down.

A timely and provocative exploration of the continuing struggle between environmentalists and property rights advocates for control over the western natural resource policy agenda. The essays offer fresh insights into how we got here and how we might advance the debate.

AWolf in the Gardenis probably the best one-volume introduction to the land rights movement available to scholars today. . . It succeeds remarkably well conveying the substance and complexity of a debate that will doubtless grow in importance in years to come.

The most broad-based and sophisticated look yet at the expanding battle between local interests and federal authority in the West. . . . An impressive line-up of scholars and writers whose expertise in western issues is unparalleled. These fine thinkers offer insight and potential solutions from all sides of the political spectrum.
