Synopsis
Why should we save America's wilderness areas? True and lasting protection for the environment, political science professor Jo Arney argues, will be borne of a shared understanding of the answer to this question.

Wilderness and the Common Good attempts to provide an answer by examining how wilderness and its preservation enriches human lives.Jo Arney is an associate professor in the department of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse. Her main area of teaching and research interest is in environmental politics and policy. Arney is also one of the lead scholars in the creation of a nationwide blended course about the stewardship of public lands being developed by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.Arney lives on an old farmstead in Coon Valley, Wisconsin, with her husband, Jeremy, canine companions, Marley and Huck, and feline companions, Lincoln and Carter. Her hobbies include gardening, camping, hiking, and sitting around a campfire whenever possible.
