Description
First Published in 2011. This book provides a study of the Forest Service, its organization and processes as one of the largest sub departmental bureaus in the federal government; speaking to matters as they stood surrounding 1974. Robinson fits the Forest Service within the larger framework of public land management, analyzing as an administrative institution with emphasis on its general processes, problems and controversies. This brings value to all those who know enough about the problems of resource management to be concerned.
