Summary
"Most Americans agree that our heritage - both natural and cultural - should be protected. Then why does development proceed unabated, aided - rather than limited - by government actions? In this hard-hitting critique of the heritage-industrial complex, Tom King points the finger at watchdogs who serve as advocates for development, unintelligible (often contradictory) regulations, uninvolved government officials, and power-seeking agencies, who together keep our heritage unprotected. His solution to this crisis will be uncomfortable to many in power, but may help save more of our cultural and natural resources."--BOOK JACKET.
