Along with these conservation measures, the state's early parks were created through the development of recreational areas. The Tennessee Valley Authority built dams that contributed to recreational attractions, and the Division of State Parks was started in 1937. All of these efforts in addition to Tennessee's natural beauty have resulted in 56 state parks. Through their postcard collections, the authors invite readers to discover each park's special place in Tennessee's history and landscape.

Book excerpt: A primary challenge for governance in our democracy is one of creating governing arrangements and structures that can pursue policies and other decisions that are effective (meet the public interest) and efficient. The history of Tennessee State Parks'strategic direction and management is fraught with political interests guiding these decisions. This allows the political power to be concentrated in the executive and legislative arms of government and is subject to special interest economic and political influences. The civic/public sector has had little influence on these decisions. Given these conditions, the agency is particularly vulnerable to political battles between the executive and legislative branches of government, as witnessed in the tax and budgets struggles of recent years in Tennessee, resulting in the temporary closings of fourteen state parks. Results also include disinvestments over time in management systems, questionable strategic decisions regarding high-end capital expenditures for resort development, and incentives for legislators to push for the development of recreational structures in their home districts regardless of environmental or strategic impacts on the Tennessee State Parks system. A literature review, a Survey of State Park Directors, and personal interviews with persons affiliated with Tennessee State Parks governance were conducted to determine the past history of Tennessee State Parks governance, what models and processes lead to good governance, and specifically how strategic management plans, advisory committees, and process for public involvement impact agency accountability and the protection of park and natural areas. The results of this research led to findings and recommendations for an independent and comprehensive decision-making model for state park governance and a reliable and sufficient funding source for the Tennessee State Parks system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This colorful guidebook offers a complete recreation guide to the opportunities available in South Carolina's parks for visitors and travelers, families, campers, hikers, nature lovers, history buffs, and outdoor enthusiasts. Best-selling authors J.L. and Lin Stepp so enjoyed visiting all the state parks in their home state of Tennessee, while writing their award-winning book Discovering Tennessee State Parks, that they decided to spread their wings and visit all the parks in South Carolina, too. The result is Exploring South Carolina State Parks, a guidebook providing detailed descriptions of each of the forty-seven state parks, along with descriptions of eight of South Carolina's national parks and historic sites. In a format similar to their Tennessee parks guide and their best-selling Smoky Mountain hiking guide, The Afternoon Hiker, the Stepps provide clear directions to get to every park, suggestions for interesting things to do and see while visiting or camping, tips and local insights about the area, and over 700 color illustrations to showcase the beauty of every park visited. The book is divided into four South Carolina regions, the Lowcountry, Midlands, Pee Dee, and Upstate. Each regional section has its own index and at the end of the book is a colorful map and an alphabetical index to help readers easily locate any park of interest. Based on the authors' own explorations and travels throughout South Carolina, this guide offers a detailed personal account of the diverse and picturesque parks, all rich with history and beauty. So pack your bags and get ready for some fun looking through this guide and planning your upcoming trip to The Palmetto State. "This is more than a publication of South Carolina state parks. It is the perfect guide for exploring what the parks have to offer in detail. For visitors and campers, the listing of the amenities, photos, and directions is a most valuable tool. As an avid camper, the Stepp's previous guidebook, Discovering Tennessee State Parks, helped me to find new hidden gems in my state. With this new guide, I'm looking forward to visiting as many South Carolina parks as I can!" - Gloria Motter, Cades Cove Museum Director, historian and public speaker
