The Fire Island National Seashore: A History

"The authors elucidate the complex issues that arise where people and nature intersect in a coastal setting … The book has a very good time line of events and a listing of the NPS Directors of FINS—a nice tribute to their service." — Long Island History Journal "As the authors explain the often competing objectives of the National Park Service and Fire Island homeowners, the complex issue of zoning, and the role of political leaders on the municipal, state, and federal levels, they bring forth issues of great importance." — Marilyn E. Weigold, author of The Long Island Sound: A History of Its People, Places, and Environment
