Keeping Faith with Nature : Ecosystems,

This book examines the historical, scientific, political, legal, and institutional developments that are changing management priorities and policies - developments that compel us to view the public lands as an integrated ecological entity and a key biodiversity stronghold.
Arguing that we must integrate the new imperatives of ecosystem science with our devolutionary political tendencies, the author outlines a coherent new approach to natural resource policy for this century.

Robert B. Keiter is Wallace Stegner Professor of Law and director of the Wallace Stegner Center for Land, Resources, and the Environment at the University of Utah's S. J. Quinney College of Law.
