Book excerpt: Protecting Washington Wildness Records document the program "Protecting Washington Wildness," taught by Ted Whitesell and Oscar Soule from 2002 to 2004. A majority of the documents are preparatory documents for the book "Defending Wild Washington." This is the Program History of Protecting Washington Wildness, taught by Ted Whitesell and Oscar Soule from 2002 to 2004. The program consisted of a group of students researching wilderness conservation in Washington state with the objective of ultimately publishing a book titled "Defending Wild Washington," which was published by Mountaineer Books in 2004. Program materials contained in the program history from 2003-2004 consist mostly of drafts and manuscripts, publisher information, grant application information, business cards and contact info, interviews, and maps of Washington state. The contents of the program history spanning 2002-2003 mostly consist of research documents, newsletters and newspapers, newspaper clippings, guidebooks, informational pamphlets, and magazines. Photos of interview subjects, figures in the Washington state conservation movement, and natural wildlife and landscapes are included as well. The folder contents also include Ted Whitesell's emails and correspondence, as well as detailed notes pertaining to specific chapters of the book, sources, questions, and TESC Server conversations between students. The book jacket description of "Defending Wild Washington" states: "Beyond giving money or answering "action alert" campaigns to write your local congressperson, how can you, as a citizen, work directly to help protect the wild places you know and love? Defending Wild Washington documents how great accomplishments have been achieved by persons of modest means and often with no special past experience. It tells how, working together, individuals can change the laws and rules governing wild lands in this state. Editor Edward A. Whitesell, Environmental Studies Faculty Member at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, led a team of students who researched and wrote this book over an academic year. Their goal is to educate and inspire citizen activists of the future. Defending Wild Washington was made possible with the generous support of The Evergreen State College, The Mountaineers Foundation, Patagonia, Inc., Friends of The Evergreen State College Library, and individual contributions from Frederick Goldberg and Oscar Soule. Photographs were donated by Art Wolfe Photography and the Ira Spring Family Foundation. A special thank you to the Pacific Northwest Trails Association, our fiscal sponsor for this project, and to Leslie Savage of Entercom."

Book excerpt: North Cascades National Park is remote, rugged, and spectacularly majestic. Efforts to establish a park gained traction after World War II, as national interest in wilderness preservation and concerns about the impact of harvesting timber grew. Troubled by the National Park Service¿s policy favoring development for tourism and the United States Forest Service¿s policy promoting logging in the national forests, conservationists leveraged a changing political environment and the evolving environmental values of the natural resource agencies. Their activism eventually led to the 1968 creation of a crown jewel--Washington¿s magnificent third national park. This engaging account tells the story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote, rugged, and spectacularly majestic, with stunning alpine meadows and jagged peaks that soar beyond ten thousand feet, North Cascades National Park is one of the Pacific Northwest’s crown jewels. Now, in the first full-length account, Lauren Danner chronicles its creation--just in time for the park’s fiftieth anniversary in 2018. The North Cascades range benefited from geographic isolation that shielded its mountains from extensive resource extraction and development. Efforts to establish a park began as early as 1892, but gained traction after World War II as economic affluence sparked national interest in wilderness preservation and growing concerns about the impact of harvesting timber to meet escalating postwar housing demands. As the environmental movement matured, a 1950s Glacier Peak study mobilized conservationists to seek establishment of a national park that prioritized wilderness. Concerned about the National Park Service’s policy favoring development for tourism and the United States Forest Service’s policy promoting logging in the national forests, conservationists leveraged a changing political environment and the evolving environmental values of the natural resource agencies to achieve the goal of permanent wilderness protection. Their grassroots activism became increasingly sophisticated, eventually leading to the compromise that resulted in the 1968 creation of Washington’s magnificent third national park.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Craig Allin explores here the history of wilderness preservation politics in the United States. American pioneers originally viewed the wilderness as an enemy to destroy, Allin recounts, but with the rapid decline in natural resources in the nineteenth century, citizens realized their error and began to enact revolutionary environmental policies. Allin explores the far-reaching political and economic impact of these policies, as well as their status today and their uncertain future. With its timely, cutting-edge analysis, The Politics of Wilderness Protection is must-read for environmentalists and policymakers alike.
