American Covenant: National Parks, Their Promise, and Our Nation's Future by Gary E. Machlis, Michael a. Soukup

5.0

American Covenant is a modern advocacy from Soukup and Machlis, for the status, benefit, and continued preservation of the parks system in an ever uncertain future. It’s also part memoir and critique of the administrative and policy chronology of individual parks and the system as a whole organism. The US National and state parks are jewels, exemplary of the American spirit–and occasionally at odds with the U.S.’ more aggressive tendencies which foster production, consumption, and private ownership.
