Let the People Judge
Wise Use And The Private Property Rights Movement
Edited by John Echeverria and Raymond Booth Eby; The Wilderness Society
Island Press, 1995

Let the People Judge collects the writings of a wide range of thinkers on the Wise Use movement and the controversies that fuel the Wise Use debate.
