The dozen chapters are Conservation/Environment: Theodore Roosevelt to Richard Nixon; The Beginning (The President's Environmental Message Task Force and The President's Environmental Message to Congress); New Federal Institutions for Energy and Environment; Clean Water--How Soon, How Clean, How Costly; Clean Air--Technology or Not; Solid Waste--Will the Free Market Solve the Problem; Pesticides, Predator Control, and Toxic Substances; the Use of Land; The Legacy of Parks; Modernizing Energy and Mineral--Leasing Policy on the Public Lands; Offshore Oil, Superports, and the Environment; and Emerging Problems.
