Publisher Comments:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 251-255) and index.

Book News Annotation:

Though the title leads one to expect a survey of refuges, this beautifully illustrated volume is devoted to a moving history that chronicles the development of national wildlife refuges, including the beginning of the movement to protect wildlife, the key figures involved, the long road to protections, the fight to institute legal protection for birds, the ongoing struggle to maintain and add refuges during the Reagan years and after, and current issues. A final chapter presents the histories of eight refuges. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
