* Tells the story of how Yellowstone went from "balance of nature" to simplistic range, to "ecological process" to size-of-the-ecosystem management
James A. Pritchard is an environmental historian and an adjunct professor of landscape architecture at Iowa State University.
"Pritchard describes the complex history of the interaction among
culture, conservation strategies, expanding scientific
understanding, institutional structures, and politics in the
management of Yellowstone National Park. . . . This is a
complicated story, dispassionately told and meticulously documented
with 45 pages of notes, references, and a complete index. General
readers; undergraduates through professionals."—Choice
“This is one of the five most important books ever written about
Yellowstone and perhaps the most important one about ecological
management of the park.”—Lee Whittlesey, archivist, Yellowstone
