Saving Spaces : Historic Land Conservation in the United States
Other Available Formats
Overview
Saving Spaces explains the ways Americans have sought to conserve individual parcels of land as well as entire landscapes from destruction by development. It highlights the differences between preserving properties through complete fee simple ownership, such as with parks, playgrounds, and historic sites, and the partial acquisition of property rights through easements. Each alternative offers a variety of challenges and opportunities, and in Saving Spaces, John Sprinkle illustrates the impacts and unanticipated consequences of federally-supported land conservation programs by recognizing the contributions of the individuals, as well as the impact that public policy has on the ability of the government and private organizations to protect land from future development. Saving Spaces is a resource every historic preservationist will want on their shelves.
