He tells a fascinating tale of his efforts, under PresidTheodore Roosevelt, to wrest the forests from economic special interests and to bring them under managemfor multiple- and long-range use. His philosophy of "the greatest good for the greatest number over the longest time" has become the foundation upon which this country's conservation policy is based.

Alaric Sample of the Pinchot Institute for Conservation trace the evolution of Gifford Pinchot's career in the context of his personal life and the social and environmental issues of his time. They illuminate the courage and vision of the man whose leadership is central to the developmof the profession of forestry in the United States.
