Hartzog Jr.","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis biography of the seventh director of the National Park Service brings to life one of the most colorful, powerful, and politically astute people to hold this position. George B. Hartzog Jr. served during an exciting and volatile era in American history. Appointed in 1964 by Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, he benefited from a rare combination of circumstances that favored his vision, which was congenial with both President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society and Udall's robust environmentalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHartzog led the largest expansion of the National Park System in history and developed social programs that gave the Service new complexion. During his nine-year tenure, the system grew by seventy-two units totaling 2.7 million acres including not just national parks, but historical and archaeological monuments and sites, recreation areas, seashores, riverways, memorials, and cultural units celebrating minority experiences in America. In addition, Hartzog sought to make national parks relevant and responsive to the nation's changing needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathy Mengak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of New Mexico Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826351081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMengak, Kathy:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Kathy Mengak taught outdoor recreation classes for fourteen years before moving to Georgia where she writes and works for the University of Georgia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of New Mexico Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40201486663795,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":28.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_ec9bf7f9-7035-4d94-9ecb-6f86d7385b10.jpg?v=1656166270","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/reshaping-our-national-parks-and-their-guardians-the-legacy-of-george-b-hartzog-jr-9780826351081","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
