Thomas Jefferson called it the key to our success as a democracy. Yet the question of who owns America not only remains unanswered but is central to a fundamental conflict that can pit private property rights advocates against government policymakers and environmentalists. Land use authority Harvey M. Jacobs has gathered a provocative collection of perspectives from eighteen contributors in the fields of law, history, anthropology, economics, sociology, forestry, and environmental studies. Who Owns America? begins with the popular view of land ownership as seen though the television show Bonanza! It examines public regulation of private land; public land management; the roles culture and ethnic values play in land use; and concludes with Jacobs' title essay. Who Owns America? is a powerful and illuminating exploration of the very terrain that makes us Americans. Its broad set of theoretical and historical perspectives will fascinate historians, environmental activists, policy makers, and all who care deeply about the land we share. 606 $aLand tenure$zUnited States 606 $aLand tenure$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aRight of property$zUnited States 606 $aEminent domain$zUnited States 606 $aPublic lands$zUnited States$xManagement 606 $aLand use$xEnvironmental aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aLand tenure 615 0$aLand tenure$xGovernment policy 615 0$aRight of property 615 0$aEminent domain 615 0$aPublic lands$xManagement. 615 0$aLand use$xEnvironmental aspects 676 $a323.4 701 $aJacobs$b Harvey Martin$f1952-$0272733 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964094403321 996 $aWho owns America$94366914 997 $aUNINA
