Jack Ward Thomas: The Journals of a Forest Service Chief Harold K. Steen, editor Jack Ward Thomas, an eminent wildlife biologist and Forest Service career scientist, was drafted in the late 1980s to head teams of scientists developing strategies for managing the habitat of the northern spotted owl. That assignment led to his selection as Forest Service chief during the early years of the Clinton administration. It is history's good fortune that Thomas kept journals of his thoughts and daily experiences, and that he is a superb writer able to capture the moment with clarity and grace. Woven throughout these excerpts from his diary is Thomas’s conviction that the effective, ethical management of wildlife depends on how the management effort is situated within the broader human context, with all its intransigence and unpredictability. 416 pages, hardcover. July 2004. Forest History Society in association with University of Washington Press.
