| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Wilderness Society is a body committed to preserving and protecting the wilderness. This book provides information on the major concerns and campaigns supported by this group such as the wilderness act, National Forest Management Act of 1976, Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, National Landscape Conservation System, and others. Also included are quick biographies of the founders of the Wilderness Society such as Harold C. Anderson, Harvey Boome, Bernard Frank, Aldo Leopold, Benton MacKaye, Bob Marshall, Ernest Oberholtzer, and Robert Sterling Yard. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
