商品簡介
Clements (history, U. of South Carolina) argues that the Republican Hoover successfully balanced conservation and development. On the one hand Hoover expanded by 40% the land under the National Park Service and also promoted the conservation of timber and oil, while on the other, he had the Hoover Dam and the St. Lawrence Seaway built. Clements also argues that Hoover encouraged non-consumptive leisure and advocated the first federal law to control oil pollution in navigable waters. Annotation c.
