Horace M. Albright who started with the Interior Department in 1913 and was Director of the National Park Service from 1929 to 1933.
Russell E. Dickenson who started with the National Park Service as a ranger in 1946 and was Director from 1980 to 1985.
William Penn Mott Jr who started with the National Park Service in 1933 and became Director in 1985.
Interesting reading from the first hand accounts of these three former Directors on the history of the National Park Service from the beginning to 1987.
This is a large format (9 x 12) soft bound book loaded with beautiful color photographs of the National Parks, Monuments and Historic Sites.
This is a great value for the money.

It been written by two eminently qualified authors - one, trained as an engineer & the other, an architect, but both had worked as principal economists & management consultants & involved in myriad project feasibility studies & new venture evaluations.
Of all the books I have in my personal library over the years that relate to project feasibility studies & new venture evaluations, this one is my personal favourite. It is also the most comprehensive & yet indepth! It has assisted my professional work while I was working in the corporate world.
In a nut shell, this book has a very practical, well-structured & clearly-defined numerical rating system, ranging from rough processing to full evaluation, to help you in your exploration & evaluation, covering:
four (4) broad facets, namely:
- your product/service/activity (in terms of prospective performance, salability, defensibility);
- yourself or your company (in terms of personal traits & relative strengths/weaknesses);
- your environment (in terms of possible effects);
- your venture (in terms of investment considerations & strategic possibilities;
These are broken down into:
- thirteen (13) general aspects;
These are further broken down into:
- sixty nine (69) individual factors;
The authors coin the acronym 'SAVE' (hence the book title, Strategic Analysis Venture Evaluation) to sum up their wonderful model. The model approach will definitely save you from potential failure.
Packed with forms, checklists, questions, it will compel your careful attention to all the factors involved in a new venture, thus preventing dangerous blindspots. It also help to prevent over-valueing a few dominant factors that tend to distort decision/judgement.
As the authors contend in the inside cover of this book: "This is the only book that provide you with immediate answers to such complex questions as, How attractive is this proposed venture, to this company, organisation or individual, at this time, and under this set of conditions."
I highly recommend this book to all project managers!

Wildland Recreation has so many different resources. There are pictures, charts, graphs, diagrams, and my favorite- case studies and examples of research. It is a great reference to use when writing papers or doing other research, because you can go look up the study. Not only that, but at the end of each chapter, all the references are provided, making it easy to search for what you need outside of this book.
Wildland Recreation is well written and understandable. The information is clear and straightforward, easy to comprehend. The chapters and sections are nicely divided into categories. This is a great book for anyone interested in any aspect of wildland management.
