註釋"Press presents an empirically grounded examination of the ability and need for local actors and their communities to successfully acquire and protect land in California. The book is based on new research, and makes an excellent argument for why people around the country should care about what is happening in California. It is an important book on land protection and conservation for Californians interested in protecting land in their state; those studying land protection, state and local environmental policy making and capacity; and land protection professionals across the nation."—Chris McGrory Klyza, author of Wilderness Comes Home

"Saving Open Space is an excellent resource for open space planners. In one short volume, Daniel Press has assembled an impressive amount of information about how open space is being preserved in California. This book will help place every open space battle and every land acquisition in a better statewide context."—William Fulton, author of The Reluctant Metropolis and co-author of The Regional City: Planning for the End of Sprawl

"Everyone with an interest in development and conservation, in California and elsewhere in the nation, should read Saving Open Space. It meticulously demonstrates the growing political and institutional capacity of the local conservation movement, and the very substantial role that private land trusts are playing to preserve resources that are important to each individual community. Press also demonstrates that these local initiatives can make a substantial contribution to the larger ecosystems, resources and working landscapes so important to California."—Madelyn Glickfeld, California Resources Agency
