Descripción
Sumario:"Drawing on scientific research in a variety of disciplines, Steve Nash provides a clear and evenhanded introduction to some of the most hotly disputed environmental issues facing the Blue Ridge, including the invasion of exotic plants and insects, the explosive growth of suburban-style communities in natural areas, worsening air and water pollution, and the erratic management of national forests. Informative and highly readable, Blue Ridge 2020 takes a hard look at what is at risk in these mountains and what we - as the "owners" of the public lands - must do if we intend to preserve their future."--Jacket.
