Although all were once seas of grass teeming with wildlife, they now exhibit striking differences, and range from a small lake recreation area in Texas to the enormous Little Missouri National Grasslands in North Dakota. \u003cp\u003eAn essential guide to the American grasslands and the Grasslands National Park of Canada, \u003ci\u003eThe National Grasslands\u003c\/i\u003e presents a history of the region, that traces the establishment of the national grasslands as an important part of the New Deal's social revolution. The guide also provides a concise summary of the debates surrounding preservation and use, with special focus on the Buffalo Commons controversy. Each national grassland receives individual attention, including overviews of flora and fauna, clear descriptions of terrain and noteworthy natural features, and vital information on grasslands' history, visitor centers, and ranger stations. All the articles in this first full-length book on the history of the national grasslands are richly illustrated with maps and exquisite photographs by the noted Great Plains photographer Georg Joutras.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francis Moul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803283202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803283206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 8.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScience Books \u0026amp; Films\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2007 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 1 - Strongly Recommended","brand":"Francis Moul","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947206967551,"sku":"9780803283206","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2cd688fc-b9a3-47e2-bfd0-d28b7f887da9.jpg?v=1681517359","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-national-grasslands-francis-moul-9780803283206","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
