Wilderness Ethics: Preserving the Spirit of Wildness, Special Edition, with an Appreciation of Guy Waterman

Without some management, the world's wilderness cannot survive the number of people who seek to enjoy it. But with too much management, or the wrong kind, we will destroy the spiritual component of "wildness" in our zeal to preserve its physical side. With humor and insight, the Water-mans look beyond the ecology of the back-country to explore the factors that make it wild and consider the most difficult wilderness management issues facing us today.
