A central tenet to the survival of our cherished values—and of ourselves as a species—is the stewardship of cultural diversity and the places that foster it, like rural America. These may be the places that teach us to use land to make a living and to make a life, to forge and carry on our identities, and to feel history. They may yield a harvest of policies for managing an environmental balancing act that will preserve essential resources for Americas childrens children._Power and Place: Preservation, Progress, and the Culture War over Land_ examines the ongoing culture wars that pit conservation against economic progress.
