"This book is a reference handbook to those conservation policies and the contemporary issues that affect America’s forests . . . It is very efficiently designed in a modular form. Current issues sections, for example, all start with a few paragraphs of background, then recent policy developments, and then conclusions, with numerous references available at the end. This book is the clearly written, balanced, useful reference the authors and publishers claim it to be. It is recommended for all libraries, especially for those holding the Contemporary World Issues series, of which this is a part." - American Reference Books Annual
