Waste of the West: Public Lands Ranching
by Lynn Jacobs
An Author-Approved, Web-Based, Text-Searchable Installation
Suitable for Online Viewing and Full-Sized Printing
|
Waste of the West is for people who care about nature. As much as an eye-opening educational tool, it is a call to action. Waste of the West is, and probably will remain, the most complete account of public lands ranching ever assembled. With easy-reading text and more than 1000 photos, drawings, cartoons, graphs, and charts on 602 (8.5" x 11") pages, Lynn Jacobs explores every facet of this obscure yet vitally important issue.

The pages of Waste of the West are presented here as high-resolution (300 PPI) PDF files suitable for full-sized printing on 8.5 x 11-inch paper. In general, the pages of each chapter are grouped together as an individual, text-searchable file. In rare instances, though, conversion by Adobe Acrobat of a scanned image file to a text-searchable one yielded distortion of text and graphics. I dealt with this issue in two ways. If the degree of distortion was great, I left the page as an image file and installed it separately from the chapter within which it occurs. I had no choice but to remove such a page from its chapter because the version of Acrobat used disallows the conjoining of image and text-readable files. The excluded image files are accessible through hypertext of the same blue color as are the text-readable chapter files from which they were excluded. For those pages whose conversion to text searchability resulted in only moderate distortion, I kept the distorted pages with the chapters in which they occur. The additionally installed undistorted, non-text-searchable (image) versions of these included pages are accessible through green-colored hypertext. |
