A must-read for any outdoor enthusiast, the Compelled Book by H. Dale Hall follows the journey of a young U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist thrust into the controversial world of national conservation issues and the methods used to resolve them. You'll read a first-hand account of the court challenge to the U.S. Clean Water Act, about the harm of environmental pollutants in federal water development projects, the history of conservation in the U.S. led by hunters and anglers, the history of the northern spotted owl and the U.S. Endangered Species Act, about western water wars, and how polar bears became America's first threatened species under the ESA as a result of global warming. Hall also discusses the best way to overcome these complex issues – through cooperative efforts and building trust between seemingly opposing interests.ISBN #: 53699. Written by H.
