State Trust Lands: History, Management, & Sustainable Use

Description

Authors: Souder, Jon A. and Fairfax, Sally K.

Publisher: University Press of Kansas

Pub Date: 1996

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Fair. Binding tight.  Highlighting throughout (though nowhere near as much as what Dave Foreman was famous for–he read every damn page).  Slight edge and corner wear.

Notes: Okay, Pop Quiz: Which states do you think make the most from their public lands/state trust lands?  Ready?  1: Washington (state)–timber and land sales earn the bulk of the state’s money, more than double the next…2: Texas.  Why are we not surprised?  And 3:  New Mexico.   Both of these are directly related to oil extraction in the Permian Basin.  This has all the hallmarks of a revised dissertation, except it’s too big.  From the library of the late environmentalist  Dave Foreman.
