ABOUT ISLAND PRESS <br />Island Press, a nonprofit organization, publishes, markets, and <br />distributes the most advanced thinking on the conservation of <br />our natural resources-books about soil, land, water, forests, <br />wildlife, and hazardous and toxic wastes. These books are <br />practical tools used by public officials, business and industry <br />leaders, natural resource managers, and concerned citizens <br />working to solve both local and global resource problems. <br />Founded in 1978, Island Press reorganized in 1984 to meet the <br />increasing demand for substantive books on all resource-related <br />issues.
