520    Not a travel guide, this book is a collection of essays 
       that delve into issues affecting America's national parks 
       and historic sites. The authors, who all have deep 
       personal and professional connections to the national 
       parks, explore how the nation's biological and cultural 
       diversity is represented; the importance of balancing 
       between recreation and preservation; the dynamics of 
       nature as they are shaped by a changing climate; and 
       innovations in technology, sustainability, and stewardship
       that provide a sense of purpose and hope.
