In the face of growing pressure on our natural landscapes and
increasingly bitter conflict over their management and use, simply
defending the status quo is not enough. Finding a balance between
producing commodities, such as lumber, and maintaining amenities,
such as open space, is crucial if we hope to promote environmental
stewardship and healthy economies. "Accounting for Mother Nature"
brings together experts with wide-ranging experience to provide a
comprehensive examination of the critical debate around the
management of scarce natural resources.
The contributors to this volume consider how unconstrained use of
nature's bounty had lead not only to damage and waste, but also to
divisive conflict. With a focus particularly on the American West,
this volume examines the often-negative outcomes of government's
management of land and natural resources. In turn, the contributors
explore the role that private individuals and organizations can
play in protecting natural and agrarian landscapes.
Through its detailed analyses, "Accounting for Mother Nature" makes
the case for innovation within the private nonprofit sector and
marks out new frontiers for research.
