512 pages, paperback. A People's History of Wilderness gathers the best of more than three decades of wilderness coverage from High Country News, and includes important new introductory material and analysis.

Give and Take

How the Clinton Administration's Public Lands Offensive Transformed the American West

Drawn from the pages of High Country News, Give and Take is a lively and in-depth insider's view of the political, economic, cultural, and environmental forces that shaped the debate over not only the Grand Staircase-Escalante, but the 19 other national monuments Clinton declared in his final moments in office...and the Bush administration's attempts to undermine them.

Give and Take is essential reading for anyone interested in the tug-of-war battles over the nation's most pristine public lands and in what respected legal historian Charles Wilkinson labels, "the grandest, most electrifying moments in American conservation history."
