Book excerpt: The Government Accountability Office (GAO) was asked to determine the status of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Park Service's implementation of the National Parks Air Tour Management Act of 2000; assess how the air tour operators and national parks have been affected by implementation; and identify what issues, if any, need to be addressed to improve implementation. GAO recommends that Congress consider amending the act to give the agencies authority to determine which parks should develop plans, which would allow more cost-effective implementation. GAO also recommends that FAA take several actions to improve compliance, enforcement, and implementation. In commenting on the draft report, the Departments of Transportation and the Interior generally agreed with our recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the visionary tradition of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, One Square Inch of Silence alerts us to beauty that we take for granted and sounds an urgent environmental alarm. Natural silence is our nation’s fastest-disappearing resource, warns Emmy-winning acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton, who has made it his mission to record and preserve it in all its variety—before these soul-soothing terrestrial soundscapes vanish completely in the ever-rising din of man-made noise. Recalling the great works on nature written by John Muir, John McPhee, and Peter Matthiessen, this beautifully written narrative, co-authored with John Grossmann, is also a quintessentially American story—a road trip across the continent from west to east in a 1964 VW bus. But no one has crossed America like this. Armed with his recording equipment and a decibel-measuring sound-level meter, Hempton bends an inquisitive and loving ear to the varied natural voices of the American landscape—bugling elk, trilling thrushes, and drumming, endangered prairie chickens. He is an equally patient and perceptive listener when talking with people he meets on his journey about the importance of quiet in their lives. By the time he reaches his destination, Washington, D.C., where he meets with federal officials to press his case for natural silence preservation, Hempton has produced a historic and unforgettable sonic record of America. With the incisiveness of Jack Kerouac’s observations on the road and the stirring wisdom of Robert Pirsig repairing an aging vehicle and his life, One Square Inch of Silence provides a moving call to action. More than simply a book, it is an actual place, too, located in one of America’s last naturally quiet places, in Olympic National Park in Washington State.

Book excerpt: There is a great amount of debate concerning the establishment and use of public lands.
