Download or read book Tennessee Wilderness written by Larry Richardson and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for this beautiful photographic book came from current Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Executive Director Ed Carter in collaboration with outdoor writer Larry Richardson and photographer Tom Wood. Director Carter has been a part of the TWRA family since 1972. All three have an important role to play in this book and all three have a vast knowledge of TWRA and the beautiful places that TWRA has stewardship over. Our state is divided naturally into three sections: East, Middle, and West Tennessee. From the mountains of east Tennessee to the rolling land which lies between the Cumberland plateau on the east and the Tennessee River on the west, to the smooth level plains of the Mississippi Valley in West Tennessee, there are over 100 Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) and refuges across the state that are managed by TWRA. They vary in size from 53 to 625,000 acres. All WMAs are available to the public for hunting, trapping, and other outdoor activities, although certain regulations apply. These areas are fully funded by license sales from hunters and fishermen, and those who wish to support wildlife across our state. Showcasing the state's wildlife management areas in a photo essay, along with highlighting TWRA personnel's interaction with the public in the field, is a special and unique opportunity.Obviously, this project is a labor of love for all those involved, but the ultimate satisfaction is the reward of knowing this book will be valuable to those who turn its pages. Tennesseans everywhere recognize that outdoor recreation attracts and sustains families and businesses, healthy communities, and an overall better quality of life. Whether you are involved in hunting, fishing, boating, wildlife watching or just appreciation of the outdoors, you will love the picturesque pages of this book as it takes you through the photographic journey of ?Tennessee Wilderness-A Legacy Endures.' So get outside and invite someone along on an adventure, just as I am inviting you on a photo adventure through Tennessee's most beautiful areas and the people who are her caregivers.
Download or read book The Great Smokies written by Daniel S. Pierce and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeking a taste of unspoiled wilderness, more than eight million people visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park each year. Yet few probably realize what makes the park unusual: it was the result of efforts to reclaim wilderness rather than to protect undeveloped land. The Smokies have, in fact, been a human habitat for 8,000 years, and that contact has molded the landscape as surely as natural forces have. In this book, Daniel S. Pierce examines land use in the Smokies over the centuries, describing the pageant of peoples who have inhabited these mountains and then focusing on the twentieth-century movement to create a national park. Drawing on previously unexplored archival materials, Pierce presents the most balanced account available of the development of the park. He tells how park supporters set about raising money to buy the land--often from resistant timber companies--and describes the fierce infighting between wilderness advocates and tourism boosters over the shape the park would take. He also discloses the unfortunate human cost of the park's creation: the displacement of the area's inhabitants. Pierce is especially insightful regarding the often-neglected history of the park since 1945. He looks at the problems caused by roadbuilding, tree blight, and air pollution that becomes trapped in the mountains' natural haze. He also provides astute assessments of the Cades Cove restoration, the Fontana Lake road construction, and other recent developments involving the park. Full of outstanding photographs and boasting a breadth of coverage unmatched in other books of its kind, The Great Smokies will help visitors better appreciate the wilderness experience they have sought. Pierce's account makes us more aware of humanity's long interaction with the land while capturing the spirit of those idealistic environmentalists who realized their vision to protect it. The Author: Daniel S. Pierce teaches in the department of history and the humanities program at the University of North Carolina, Asheville, and is a contributor to The Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture.
