The Paradox of Preservation chronicles how national ideals about what a park "ought to be" have developed over time and what happens when these ideals are implemented by the National Park Service (NPS) in its efforts to preserve places that are also lived-in landscapes. Using the conflict surrounding the closure of the Drakes Bay Oyster Company, Laura Alice Watt examines how NPS management policies and processes for land use and protection do not always reflect the needs and values of local residents. Instead, the resulting landscapes produced by the NPS represent a series of compromises between use and protection-and between the area's historic pastoral character and a newer vision of wilderness. A fascinating and deeply researched book, The Paradox of Preservation will appeal to those studying environmental history, conservation, public lands, and cultural landscape management, and to those looking to learn more about the history of this dynamic California coastal region. 606 $aNatural resources conservation areas$zCalifornia$zPoint Reyes Peninsula$xManagement 607 $aPoint Reyes National Seashore (Calif.) 615 0$aNatural resources conservation areas$xManagement. 676 $a979.4/62 700 $aWatt$b Laura Alice$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01071461 702 $aLowenthal$b David 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150255903321 996 $aThe Paradox of Preservation$92567108 997 $aUNINA
