"The public lands of the western United States comprise some 450 million acres of grassland, steppeland, canyons, forests, and mountains. It's an American commons, and it is under assault as never before. Taking readers on a journey across these last wild places, This Land is a colorful muckraking journey--part Edward Abbey, part Upton Sinclair--exposing the rot in American politics that is rapidly leading to the sell-out of our national heritage. Along the way, journalist Christopher Ketcham offers a new vision of ecological restoration for the West and talks with the ecologists, biologists, botanists, whistleblowers, environmentalists, and citizens who are fighting to protect out public domain for future generations"--Back cover
