Description

Explore the history and evolution of America's most iconic landscapes with The National Park Service by William C. Everhart. Published by Routledge, this book provides a deep look into how the U.S. national park system has transformed since its early years. Since the first edition was released a decade ago, the system has more than doubled in size, bringing new complexities to land management and preservation. This work examines the challenges faced by the National Park Service (NPS) since its establishment in 1916. It addresses the political pressures and management shifts that have impacted the agency over the decades. Readers will gain a clear understanding of the agency's history through the lens of an author with unparalleled expertise. William C. Everhart brings a lifetime of experience to this study. Having started his career as a park historian in 1951 and later serving as assistant to the director until his retirement in 1977, his perspective is backed by decades of direct involvement with the NPS. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in American government, politics, and the history of public lands.
