Book excerpt: "Subsidized liquidation of old-growth forests. Grazing rights leased at below-market rates. Mineral resources extracted with trifling royalty payments, or none at all. Water developments built with interest-free loans." "These and other actions serve private interests extremely well but inflict massive costs on society at large. They are but the most visible signs of the fundamental flaws in the current system of federal lands management. In Plundered Promise, leading resource management scholar Richard W. Behan presents a thought-provoking history and analysis of public lands management in the United States, as he describes how we arrived at the current situation and examines what we can do to rectify it."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
