CONFLICT IN OUR NATIONAL FORESTS This book was written to examine the change in the public’s view of the Forest Service over the past half century. Today, instead of being a respected and science based agency, the Service is often portrayed as a politically controlled bureaucracy, trusted by neither the environmental organizations nor the timber industry. The author attempts to show how and why this happened. Every new administration has created policy changes that have altered how the agency functions, and what it is allowed to do. Whether policy changes were made for sound valid reasons, or simply to reward special interest groups that helped them get elected, the resulting changes have often created serious economic and social upheaval, both to the Forest Service employees and their families, and the economic well being of the publics who use these forests. In easy to understand language, the author describes how policies and methods have changed to keep up with new findings in environmental science, and the changing social demands of the using public. In the process, you will learn about how the Forest Service employees use traditional and new forest management techniques in planning programs to to protect our forests. He concludes by offering some possible solutions to bring the National Forest system and its bounty of resources and ecosystems back to their rightful central place in our public lands. This is a valuable reference for all who use and love our National Forests.
Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged is one of the great American novels of the twentieth century. Published in 1957, it continues to sell hundreds of thousands of copies per year. It has inspired millions of readers with its themes of independence and achievement. Its call for freedom has helped create a vibrant movement to promote economic and personal liberty. And it has finally been adapted as a film trilogy. If you love the novel and want to reenter the world Ayn Rand created, to appreciate her literary craft, to relive the drama, to enjoy once again the company of the characters, or to study the ideas, this book is for you. If you have seen the films and are reading the novel for the first time, this book is for you, too. It contains expert analysis of the themes and philosophy, the most complete list of characters, and exclusive material on the films. "As a board member of the Atlas Society and the producer of the Atlas Shrugged film trilogy, I am proud to endorse this guide. For nearly fifteen years, David Kelley gave me unflagging support and advice on one attempt after another to create a film adaptation. I was determined to make a film true to the philosophy and story of Ayn Rand's great novel. With David's profound knowledge of the work, his ability to communicate script problems to Hollywood writers and film-makers, and the help of the rest of the TAS team, he was indispensable to that effort. For those who have enjoyed the films and the novel and want to learn more, this book is the single best educator." -John Aglialoro, producer of the Atlas Shrugged film trilogy
