I'm trying to find a great book I read many years ago back in the '80s
at the Selby Public Library in Sarasota, Florida. Am hoping someone
else has read it or knows about it and can help me find the title,
etc. so I can purchase a copy.
This book was about preserving national/state parks, but it wasn't an
ordinary book -- it proposed many futuristic (well, back then...)
concepts on revitalizing the role of these parks for the public with a
strong focus towards "green" thinking and energy conservation. Some of
the main ideas discussed in the book was the use of solar powered
trains, prohibiting vehicular traffic inside the parks,
environmentally sustainable cabins/facilities, etc. and it included
great pen/pencil sketches of the ideas contained within, including
maps, blueprints, etc.
It truly was a fascinating book that really made a big impression on
me back then and was full of great ideas on alternative ways of taking
care of and running national/state parks. It was also not just

It was also not just a
regular book - it contained lots of drawings, drafts, etc. almost like
a scrapbook full of ideas.
