In this ground breaking epic biography, Douglas Brinkley draws on never-beforepublished materials to examine the life and achievements of our "naturalist president." By setting aside more than 230 million acres of wild America for posterity between 1901 and 1909, Theodore Roosevelt made conservation a universal endeavor. This crusade for the American wilderness was perhaps the greatest U.S. presidential initiative between the Civil War and World War I. Roosevelt's most important legacies led to the creation of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and passage of the Antiquities Act in 1906. His executive orders saved such treasures as Devils Tower, the Grand Canyon, and the Petrified Forest. 906 pages.

In the late 1800s women explorers visited Yosemite, Yellowstone, and other areas which became the national parks of the west, climbed mountains there, studied natural history, tried to interpret Indian culture, and helped create facilities for other visitors to those parks. Often riding sidesaddle and wearing long skirts, they participated with men in park pioneering. Beginning with a discussion of the early travelers and explorers, Kaufman's work is a comprehensive study of the role of women in relation to national parks from the mid-nineteenth century to the mid-1990s. 312 pages.

American ecologists seeking to influence the founders of the National Park Service had hoped that protection of the parks would create preserves where "natural conditions" could exist in an idealized presettlement state. These hopes, however, produced a bitter irony. In order to secure a naturally functioning park, officials had to provide intensive management to preserve "nature at work." For the better part of the twentieth century, the forms this management has taken have polarized public opinion. 370 pages.

A little-known and previously unavailable account of the first tourist party to Yellowstone National Park.

How lasting fame eluded one of Yellowstone's earliest explorers Frontier soldier and explorer extraordinaire, Gustavus Cheyney Doane was no stranger to historical events. Between 1863 and 1892, he fought in the Civil War, participated in every major Indian battle in Montana Territory, and led the first scientific reconnaissance into the Yellowstone country--his report on that expedition even contributed to the establishment of Yellowstone National Park. Doane was always close to being at the right place at the right time to secure lasting fame, yet that fame always eluded him, even after his death. Kim Allen Scott rescues Doane from obscurity to tell the tale of an educated and inventive man who strove in vain for recognition throughout his life. 305 pages.

The companion volume to the twelve-hour PBS series from the acclaimed filmmaker behind The Civil War, Baseball,and The War America's national parks spring from an idea as radical as the Declaration of Independence: that the nation's most magnificent and sacred places should be preserved, not for royalty or the rich, but for everyone.
