Eye on the Caribou: Inside the Alaska Lands Bill by Chris Carlson

stapilus's review

5.0

There have been few single environmental actions in the history of the United States larger in scope or consequence than the series of lands decisions in the Alaska Lands Bill of 1980, signed into law by President Jimmy Carter. Chris Carlson here tells the story of how the bill and law came to be, and what its consequences were - and tells it from the inside, as it was happening.
