America’s Public Lands

America’s Public Lands encourages an engaging, frank, and interdisciplinary analysis of a wide variety of public lands in the United States. These landscapes include our national forests, grasslands, monuments, parks, and wildlife refuges, and which, along with historic sites, are stewarded by such federal agencies as the Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, and the US Forest Service. We anticipate that books in this innovative series will explore the reciprocal relationship between human and natural environments, reveal how and why these landmarks are contested, controversial, and consumed, and identify some of their cultural meanings, ecological significance, political import, and/or recreational values.
