Reviews

'Yun Ma's fascinating book examines how China and the United States manage national parks and other protected areas. The study of China is especially important because the various classes of protected areas there are relatively new and little understood. Her account of traveling to southwestern China to visit Pudacuo National Park, the country's first, demonstrates how even local officials often know far less about such protected areas than we would expect.' John C. Nagle, University of Notre Dame, USA 'This important comparative study of how US and Chinese legal institutions address national park recreation controversies offers valuable insights into the role law, politics, and economics play in shaping each nation's nature conservation policies, while providing a realistic assessment of the many challenges park managers face in both countries.' Robert B. Keiter, University of Utah, USA and author of To Conserve Unimpaired: The Evolution of the National Park Idea
