- national parks
- national forests
- national resource lands
- wildlife refuges
- designated wildernesses

Each chapter outlines the history of the unit of public lands under discussion, clarifies the resource use and policy conflicts that are currently besetting it, and provides a detailed agenda of management, expansion, and preservation goals.
