Let the People Judge: Wise Use And The Private Property Rights Movement

by John Echeverria (Editor), Raymond Booth Eby, Grant Ferrier

"One of the most serious challenges to environmentalism that has emerged in the 1990s is the so-called Wise Use movement. While operating under the guise of an independent movement of small landowners, it is in reality a backlash against environmental protection measures, funded and organized by corporations with a vested interest in preventing further environmental gains. Let the People Judge collects the writings of a wide range of thinkers on the Wise Use movement and the controversies that fuel the Wise Use debate.

The first half of the book was filled with excellent information about the Wise-use movement. The second half sort of veers off into an interesting, but less wise-use oriented, overview of environmental and grassroots organizing issues.
Wish the book was updated, but overall a good read.
