Wilderness in National Parks casts light on the complicated relationship between the National Park Service and its dual policy goals of wilderness preservation and recreation. The Service is charged with management of the most wilderness acreage of any government agency in the world but it has frequently favored development over preservation. 

John C. Miles is Professor of Environmental Studies in the Huxley College of the Environment at WWU
