| Sumario: | "Three Sisters, North Cascades, Mount Jefferson, Alpine Lakes, and French Pete are key wilderness areas in the Cascade Mountains in Oregon and Washington and represent critical stages in the protection of wilderness areas nationwide. In Drawing Lines in the Forest, Kevin R. Marsh discusses the roles played by various groups-the U.S. Forest Service, the timber industry, recreationists, and environmentalists- in defining the boundaries of these areas. He shows that pragmatic, rather than ideological, goals were often paramount. He also relates these case studies to ongoing wilderness debates, such as the spotted owl controversy and contemporary wilderness proposals."--Jacket. |
