"It's
my bible."
-- PATRICIA WOLFF, New
West Research
I
have personally seen the vast devastation caused by public lands ranching
in the arid and semi-arid West. This book brilliantly exposes the greatest
environmental scandal in the United States -- the destruction of a substantial
portion of the nation by an industry run on government subsidies by a few
politically powerful people who produce pathetically little value. Waste of
the West should especially be read by Easterners who have not had the opportunity
to see the destruction of their property.
-- PAUL EHRLICH
Waste of the West is the most complete, rational, and
thorough portrayal of the West's greatest environmental issue -- livestock
production. The result of many years of research and personal experience,
backed with an extensive literature review, this volume is a remarkable and
insightful compilation that addresses every aspect of the livestock industry'
political, social, and ecological stranglehold on the West. Jacobs' book ranks
with the Cadillac Desert as on of the best overviews of Western land use to
come along in a decade. It should be required reading for any who cares about
the West.

GEORGE WUERTHNER, ecologist and author
I know of no one who has done more than Lynn Jacobs
to expose the ecological, economic, and social destruction caused by the Western
range livestock industry.

Is Jacobs just another harmless crackpot? Maybe... maybe
not... Let's just hope [Waste of the West] is not a bestseller!
-- LEE FITTS, Editor, Livestock Market Digest ("America's Most Popular
Livestock Weekly")
Waste of the West.com webmaster note:
Waste of the West been one of the most important books I have ever read. Growing up in the arid southwest, I saw first hand how destructive ranching is on our lands. Public lands ranching is clearly the most important environmental issue we face today, and as this book is properly named, a true waste of our country. From destroying and polluting fresh water supplies, to killing off uncounted number of plant and animal species, if you care about America, you need to take a good look at Waste of the West.
PUBLIC LANDS RANCHING
Stockmen use 70% of the American West for raising livestock, and most of this land is owned by the public. Is ranching a harmless, romantic remnant of the Old West? Or is it the West's most destructive influence? What are Lee Pitts and public lands ranchers trying to hide? Why do a growing number of experts and activists consider ranching teh rural West's most harmful influence? Controversy rages and continues to spread. Some say this will be the next great environmental (and perhaps sociopolitical) struggle in the US West.
Waste of the West explores step by step a remarkably sordid, unjust, cruel, wasteful, and destructive situation -- the obscure and secure world of public lands ranching. Forget your cowboy movies, your Western novels, your romantic ranching fantasies, and find out what really goes on out there in the vast rural West. This book is an education, an expose, and a call to action.
