This includes the famous national and the lesser-known national monuments, memorials, lakeshores, seashores, rivers, recreation areas, preserves, reserves, parkways, historic sites, historic parks, and a range of battlefields.







The geographic view of The Parks Belong to the People sets it apart from others that have taken a solely historical approach. The majority of units in the NPS are devoted to recreation areas or historic sites such as battlefields, archaeological sites, or sites devoted to a specific person, and this is reflected in the authors' approach.







What we think of as a national park has changed over the years and will continue to change. Weber and Sultana emphasize changing social and political environments in which NPS units were created and the roles they serve. The authors also focus on parks as public facilities and sites of economic activities. National parks were created by people for people to enjoy, at great cost and with great benefit. They cannot be understood without taking this human context into account.]]></description><link>https://cantonpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C17501792</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cantonpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C17501792</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Weber, Joe, Sultana, Selima]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cantonpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/17501792981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>The Geography Of The National Park System</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798855552010/MC.GIF&amp;client=cant&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[DEFCON One]]></title><description><![CDATA[DEFCON: Defense Readiness Condition; DEFCON Five: normal peacetime activities; DEFCON Four: increase intelligence watch and increase security; DEFCON Three: forces on standby, awaiting further orders; DEFCON Two: forces ready for combat; DEFCON One: forces deployed for combat.
