Description

This innovative book provides a dynamic—and often surprising—view of the range of environmental issues facing the United States today.

A distinguished group of scholars examines the growing temporal, spatial, and thematic breadth of topics historical geographers are now exploring.

Seventeen original chapters examine topics such as forest conservation, mining landscapes, urban environment justice, solid waste, exotic species, environmental photography, national and state park management, recreation and tourism, and pest control.

Commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of the seminal work The American Environment: Interpretations of Past Geographies, the book clearly shows much has changed since 1992.

Indeed, not only has the range of issues expanded, but an increasing number of geographers are forging links with environmental historians, promoting a level of intellectual cross-fertilization that benefits both disciplines.

As a result, environmental historical geographies today are richer and more diverse than ever.

The American Environment Revisited offers a comprehensive overview that gives both specialist and general readers a fascinating look at our changing relationships with nature over time.
