Most Americans agree that our heritage--both natural and
cultural--should be protected. Then why does development run
rampant, aided--rather than limited--by government inaction? Tom
King has been a participant in and observer of this system for
decades, as a government worker, heritage consultant, and advocate
for local communities. In this hard-hitting critique of the
heritage-industrial complex, King points the finger at watchdogs
who instead serve as advocates, unintelligible (often
contradictory) regulations, disinterested government employees and
power-seeking agencies, all of whom conspire to keep our heritage
unprotected. His solution to this crisis will be uncomfortable to
many in power, but may help save more of our cultural and natural
treasures.
