Editorial Review

Federally owned lands, which make up about one-third of the land area of the United States, are in constant danger of being plundered, thanks to governmental corruption and predatory economics--forces that endanger not only the public domain, but also society at large.Read more

Corporations and corrupt government degrade Federal Lands
Mr. Behan's main theme in PLUNDERED PROMISE is how political and economic overshoot has led to the increasing plunder of public lands for private profit. His deeper look at how the growth of corporations, hyperconsumerism, and centralized oligarchical government has led to the plundering and degradation of US Federal lands frames our present Bush administration problems and he directs the reader to authors such as Cobb-Daly, Kemmis, Prugh, Yaffee, etc. for workable, practical solutions. Intriguing insights to our governmental operations
Behan explains in fascinating detail many of the quirks -- mostly intentional -- that make our government behave today the way it does.The convoluted process that got George Bush elected is only a glimpse of the deep issues.He explains how it is virtually impossible, and has been since our foundation, to say we have rule by majority in our government.This is all explored from a foundation of federal land policy, but applies equally to the rest of our governmental operations.It was eye opening, and angering, to learn how we got where we are.

Plundered Promise: A 21st Century Forest Policy Primer
This book is worthwhile reading for anyone who proclaims a political opinion, or perhaps simply draws a breath.It is not an unbiased book, and you are unlikely to agree with every argument.I don't, but, after teaching forest policy and economics to university students for 25 years, I regret not having had the advantage of this book as a text.It would ideally complement a standard text in an undergraduate policy course, and it would serve well as core reading in a graduate seminar, supplemented by books on related topics.Several good choices, in fact, are cited in "Plundered Promise."Read more
