Author Rings in New Era of Environmentalism!
In Compromising Democracy, Shepherd reveals a unique
insight in the management of federal rangelands in the West. He inspires us to hope, as vividly illustrated by the message
voters sent to Capitol Hill after the 2007 congressional election, that there is finally public and political momentum for
the protection of ecological systems on western public lands.
Here’s what other noted environmental authors
have to say about Shepherd’s new book:
“Shepherd shines new light on how back room
deals and political power mongers as far away as Washington D.C. are impacting on the ground management and protection of
Western public rangelands.”
-George Wuerthner, Foundation for Deep Ecology
“Shepherd takes the reader on a fascinating
and informative tour of public lands livestock grazing and the affects on plant communities, wildlife, riparian management
and water. The book illustrates how efforts to reverse environmental regulations and how attempts to stack federal courts
and the U.S. Supreme Court with ideologue judges is changing the face of the public domain belonging to every American.”
- Larry Tuttle, Center for Environmental Equity
