In 2010, Secretary of Agriculture Thomas J Vilsack directed the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Office of Tribal Relations and the USDA's Forest Service to engage in a dialogue with American Indians and Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribal leaders to find out how the USDA can do a better job of accommodating and protecting AI/AN sacred sites while simultaneously pursuing the Forest Service's multiple-use mission. Secretary Vilsack requested information about unintended consequences of land management decisions affecting sacred sites and AI/AN communities whose cultural survival is often deeply rooted in these sites. This book examines the effectiveness of existing laws and regulation in ensuring a consistent level of sacred site protection that is more acceptable to tribes., 6, paperback. Good. Access codes and supplements are not guaranteed with used items. May be an ex-library book., 2.5, Hardback. New. Today the federal government owns and manages roughly 635640 million acres of land. Federal lands and resources have been important in American history, adding to the strength and stature of the federal government, serving as an attraction and opportunity for settlement and economic development, and providing a source of revenue for schools, transportation, national defence, and other national, state, and local needs. Ownership and use of federal lands have stirred controversy for decades. This book examines the conflicting public values concerning federal lands, including the extent to which the federal government should own land; whether to focus resources on maintenance of existing infrastructure and lands or acquisition of new areas; how to balance use and protection; and how to ensure the security of international borders along the federal lands of multiple agencies., 6, Hardback. New. Concerns over reliance on imported oil and greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel use have led to increased interest in producing electricity from renewable sources, including wind, solar, and geothermal energy. Because federal lands, including those managed by the Departments of Agriculture and Interior, encompass areas with high renewable energy potential, interest has increased in permitting such activity on those lands. EPAct 2005 includes several provisions intended to increase renewable energy development on federal lands, including goals for approving renewable energy projects. This book examines the status of renewable energy permitting on federal land, including time frames for processing permits applied for since 2005; and the actions federal land management agencies have taken to facilitate this development., 6, Hardback. New. In Environmental Federalism, Luke Fowler helps to refocus much needed attention on the role of state governments in environmental policy creation and implementation in the United States. While the national government receives most of the attention when it comes to environmental policy, state governments play a vital role in protecting our natural resources. Legacy problems, like air, water, and land pollution, present one set of challenges for environmental federalism, but new problems emerging as a result of climate change further test the bounds of federal institutions. Examining patterns of pollution and case studies from the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, Fowler explores two questions: has environmental federalism worked in managing legacy environmental problems, and can it work to manage climate change? In order to answer these questions, Fowler extends James Lester's typology using political incentives and administrative capacities to identify four types of states (progressive, delayers, strugglers, &amp; regressives), and assesses how they are linked to the success of federal environmental programs and conflicts in intergovernmental relations. He then considers what lessons we can learn from these programs and whether those lessons can help us better understand climate policy and multi-level institutions for environmental governance. This timely read will be a valuable contribution to students, researchers and scholars of political science, public policy, public administration, and environmental studies., 6, Hardback. New.
