The history of the Swiss National Park, from its creation in the
years before the Great War to the present, is told for the first
time in this book. Unlike Yellowstone Park, which embodied close
cooperation between state-supported conservation and public
recreation, the Swiss park put in place an extraordinarily strong
conservation program derived from a close alliance between the
state and scientific research. This deliberate reinterpretation of
the American idea of the national park was innovative and radical,
but its consequences were not limited to Switzerland. The Swiss
park became the prime example of a "scientific national park,"
thereby influencing the course of national parks worldwide.
