The 1970s saw unprecedented change in the laws governing the activities of the Forest Service. This study focuses on the legislative process and the circumstances surrounding forest policy-making during the 1970s. Dennis C. Le Master draws on his Capitol Hill experience to point out the various forces that have worked to bring about the many changes in Forest Service law that occurred. He provides insightful commentary on and analysis of the interaction of events, personalities, and policies as they influenced Forest Service law-making in the 1970s and thereby influence the agency today.
Review
The six essays collected in the present volume (some of which have been published before) argue 'for a restoration of the classical Marxist position linking the development process, class formation, and class capacities'. On the basis of a number of case studies the author defends the thesis that the most efficacious forms of union organization arise out of the most proletarianized factions of the working class.International Review of Social History
