Summary

This is the first book to examine the dynamics of population, demographic, urban, rural, economic, leisure, and recreation trends of the United States. Footprints on the Land is a statistical story that presents the full picture of the rapidly unfolding changes over time on the landscape of the United States. It is also a story of the impact of the growth of the human race on our environment. The spacial nature of social trends may be the greatest contribution of this book as the analysis helps to identify where those trends intersects with our remaining natural land and water resources. After all, our natural resources are a precious part of the sustainability of our ecosystem, not a commodity for industrial growth.
