An intimate and candid account of our national parks detailing
their strengths, vulnerabilities, and essential role in American
life "An important [book], . . . essential reading for anyone
concerned about the future of America's national parks.-John Miles,
National Parks Traveler Part memoir, part critique, and a paean to
the value of national parks, American Covenant distills the
experience and insights from two long careers in conservation.
Michael A. Soukup and Gary E. Machlis show how the national parks
are essential to maintaining the essence of our national heritage,
and key to America's future in a changing climate and political
landscape. Sharing real-world examples of both victories and
defeats in protecting national parks, this candid, thoughtful book
reminds us that the national parks are a promise-a covenant-within
and between generations of Americans. The book is also a call to
revitalize, reconstitute, reconfigure, and reform the National Park
Service, which the authors believe is governed too much by outdated
management practices and politics instead of a foundation of
expertise and science.
