Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth look at a public debate over a specific issue, the private vs commercial use of the Grand Canyon, providing a comprehensive overview of the historical context, the arguments of each side, and the sociological differences between private and commercial river runners. The author draws insightful conclusions in urging resource managers to pay close attention to demand figures, noting that the division between commercial outfitters and their passengers is often lost in discussions of the private-commercial issue, and that three segments of the Grand Canyon users "public" need to be distinguished.
