Resources for the Future is a nonprofit organization for research and education in the development,
conservation, and use of natural resources, including the quality of the environment. It was
established in 1952 with the cooperation of the Ford Foundation. Grants for research are accepted
from government and private sources only on the condition that RFF shall be solely responsible
for the conduct of the research and free to make its results available to the public. Most of the
work of Resources for the Future is carried out by its resident staff; part is supported by grants
to universities and other nonprofit organizations. Unless otherwise stated, interpretations and
conclusions in RFF publications are those of the authors; the organization takes responsibility
for the selection of significant subjects for study, the competence of the researchers, and their
freedom of inquiry.
This book was edited by F. R. Ruskin and designed by Elsa B. Williams. The index was
