Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land We Live In: The Book of Conservation It is peculiarly appropriate that Mr. Price should have written this book. His experience has been exactly what he needed to fit him for the task. Mr. Price is a forester, and was for many years my right hand in the Forest Service. Indeed, if credit could be al lotted justly for work done, I believe it would be found that he had more to do with the success of the Service than I had. In addition to his intimate knowledge of the whole country acquired in the Forest Service, Mr. Price has been associated with the Conservation movement from its very beginning. It was with him that I discussed it first after the idea had occurred to me, and from that time to this little has happened in Conservation which has not profited by his wide knowledge, remarkable powers of organization, and unusual executive ability. As a member of the National Conservation Commission, Secretary of its Section of For ests, and once more the right hand of its Chairman, and as vice-president of the National Conservation Association, he has had and has used to the full an unrivaled opportunity to apply the foresight and training he acquired in Forestry to all phases of Conservation. His scientific accuracy is the guarantee for the accuracy of this book. Personally, Mr. Price is so warm a friend of mine that what he says about me in his book must be taken with many grains of salt. He is strongly prejudiced in my favor. I hope this admirable book may have what it deserves; the widest circulation among the young people of America. All the boys and girls who read it while they are young will be more useful to the Nation because of it when they grow up: and unless I am mistaken, they will thoroughly enjoy reading it besides.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conservation Fight: From Theodore Roosevelt to the Tennessee Valley Authority "Here is history, authentic history, of a crucial period in American life and politics that has all the challenge and charm of drama, written by a leading actor in the drama. Here is the intimate story, by a participant, of how TVA ... came into being. "Judson King knew all the actors in the mighty TVA drama which started with the conservation movement in Teddy Roosevelt's day... His interest in popular government led him ultimately to the directorship of the National Popular Government League, established under the leadership of George Norris and Gifford Pinchot. One of the earliest interests of the League was establishment of initiative and referendum in each of the states. "Deeply concerned with popular control of America's natural resources, Judson King saw the potentialities for abundant, cheap hydroelectric power, combined with flood control, to serve citizens free from exploitation. The waste of waters of our swift rivers rushing to the sea without passing through turbines to generate low-cost electricity for our people - power unused in this age of science - was unendurable to him. Every fibre within him rebelled against such injustice to the public interest, whether it expressed itself in unsavory political practice, locally or nationally, or in some form of restrictive monopoly. "In this book, Judson King brings back to life for a new generation many episodes in the conservation movement and the fight for TVA, including the Federal Trade Commission inquiry into the nefarious practices of the private utilities which brought reforms in the 1930's... He pays his respects to the Corps of Army Engineers, too, and tells us the story of their opposition to the high dam development which became the core of cheap electric power... "More than a history of the birth pains of TVA, important as that is, this book is a history of a free people's fight to maintain control of one of their own natural resources, the waters of a great river system, to assure themselves and their posterity a better life. "Built by one generation, TVA and the conservation principles it represents must be cherished and preserved by another. Judson King has shown the way." - Benton J. Stong in the Foreword.

This book was released on 2018-09-30 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from United States Department of the Interior-Forest Conservation Earliest conception of the Government's custodianship of the public domain was that such lands should be converted into cash for defray ing governmental expenses and for extinguishing the public dept. Dis posing of public domain was regarded as a real estate business, a viewpoint that continued until the present century. As a result of a sense of obligation to those who served in the armies during wartime, the public lands were regarded as suitable rewards for veterans: in deed, gifts of lands had been held out as inducements for enlistment into the army. Thus the early policy was dominated by the idea that the new public domain should be disposed of as a source of rev enue and as a substitute for cash to reward soldiers.

This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Articles on the Conservation of Natural Resources Until a few years ago, the impression was prevalent that water, forests and the ores in the earth were abundantly plentiful and thus could be lavishly used., When the necessity of conservation 1 was made evident, far-sighted men started a campaign of public education and the subject became suddenly prominent in the magazines. But like all schemes started in theory and later applied in practice, this one developed an unexpected phase, in this case the conditions in the newer western states determining its form. Out of this situation grew two plans of conservation, one under Federal control and the other under State control. The issues are so well defined that the subject is an appropriate one for debate and in order to supply the needs of debaters, as well as general students, this volume has been prepared for the Debaters' Handbook Series. In conformity with the series the book contains a brief based on the best arguments available, a bibliography, and articles reprinted entirely or in part and grouped into general, affirmative and negative sections.

Download or read book Conservation in the Progressive Era written by David Stradling and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservation was the first nationwide political movement in American history to grapple with environmental problems like waste, pollution, resource exhaustion, and sustainability. At its height, the conservation movement was a critical aspect of the broader reforms undertaken in the Progressive Era (1890-1910), as the rapidly industrializing nation struggled to protect human health, natural beauty, and "national efficiency." This highly effective Progressive Era movement was distinct from earlier conservation efforts and later environmentalist reforms. Conservation in the Progressive Era places conservation in historical context, using the words of participants in and opponents to the movement. Together, the documents collected here reveal the various and sometimes conflicting uses of the term "conservation" and the contested nature of the reforms it described. This collection includes classic texts by such well-known figures as Theodore Roosevelt, Gifford Pinchot, and John Muir, as well as texts from lesser-known but equally important voices that are often overlooked in environmental studies: those of rural communities, women, and the working class. These lively selections provoke unexpected questions and ideas about many of the significant environmental issues facing us today.

The New York State College of Forestry was established at Cornell University and the Biltmore Forest School at Biltmore, N. C.

Download or read book Conservation of Natural Resources Classic Reprint written by California; Dept; Of Public Instruction and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conservation of Natural Resources A Word to the People of California. My friends, during the past year, My friends, during the past year I have become possessed by the idea that the largest, the most truly patriotic, the most vitally important movement in this nation to-day is the one looking to the Conservation of our Natural Resources. This has been large enough to call together a Conference of Governors, to cause the appointment of a National Commission, and to engage the earnest attention, the gravest concern of the greatest and most brilliant minds of our continent. It is patriotic, for it looks to the preservation of our fatherland into the future with its power and glory undimmed. It is vitally important, for without it our nation is doomed to go down to poverty and weakness. It is unsel sh, for it looks forward to the welfare of those who come after us, rather than for our own little personal bene t now. It is a vital and a worthy thing, however we view it. I have become possessed by the idea, too, that it is highly important for the school people of this State to join in this movement; for them to grasp its signi cance, appreciate its momentum, take hold of it strongly and intelligently. Such a movement as this must fail unless it can be projected into the future. It can only be projected into the future through the children of the nation. If it would really get permanently into the hearts of the People, it must lter through the Children. I conceive it to be a patriotic duty resting upon every teacher, every superintendent, every school of cer, to take his share of responsibility in this thing; to read, to talk, to think, to inform himself about this great movement for Conservation - and then to pass the spirit of it all along to the Children. In no other state or country is such variety and wealth of natural resources to be found as in California. Nowhere else is it being squandered with such careless hand, nor is there elsewhere such necessity for wise and thoughtful and far-seeing School People.

This book is consequently little more than an introduction to the numerous problems that are faced by government agencies in the field of wild-life conservation.

This is. Followed by a study of the design, which endeavors to use native materials and other architectural features that will harmonize the structure with its sur roundings. The last phase of the problem is the placing of any plant materials necessary to cure unavoidable damage that may result from the construction. The range of national park landscape problems is highly interesting and diversified. It runs the gamut from dog kennels in Alaska to colonial plantations in Virginia, from adobe houses with cactus gardens in the Southwest to subarctic roadside plantings in Maine, and from lakeside hotels in Montana to hot-springs developments in Arkansas.
