Abstract
Copilot said:
Sandra B. Zellmer reviews John D. Leshy’s Our Common Ground, examining his argument that America’s public lands have historically united diverse political interests. She highlights examples of bipartisan conservation efforts while questioning whether public lands can still function as “common ground” in an era of deep political polarization. Despite these concerns, Zellmer praises the book as a comprehensive and insightful history of public lands policy and a valuable contribution to public lands scholarship.
