Varmints and Victims
In this detailed and comprehensive book, Frank Van Nuys uses a western focus to chart the rise and fall of a consensus about the benefits of predator control. From the 1870s through the 1940s, most Americans agreed that wolves, bears, coyotes, and lions should be killed to protect livestock, sport hunting, and American progress. Shifting ideas about the value of predators and other changes in the American social fabric frayed this consensus. “Thi…
Wastelanding
In this sophisticated and insightful book, Traci Brynne Voyles argues that the process of “wastelanding” helps explain the history and persistence of environmental injustice. Environmental racism stems not only from constructed discourses of race but also from constructed conceptions of place. Asserting their colonial dominance over the Navajo, Euro-Americans defined indigenous lands in the American Southwest as wasted and useless, making those l…
Recentering North American Environmental History
We lay out a rationale for a new scholarly subfield—the environmental history of the Great Lakes—that Canadian and U.S. scholars can develop together. This project began as an attempt to teach environmental history in a way that stressed the importance of our region to our Wisconsin- and Michigan-based students. But classroom experiences convinced us that Great Lakes environmental history has been neglected, both because of its transnational char…
The View from Sand Island
The bird's-eye view that western historians typically assume to analyze economic development directs attention away from the point of production and obscures the local conditions that shaped economic life in the rural West. On Sand Island, Wisconsin, seasonal limitations, local transportation patterns, and the intersections of seemingly distinct industries dictated the daily activities of an economic frontier

The Hunter's Game
This provocative book takes a new look at the angry struggles between American conservationists and local hunters since the rise of wildlife conservation at the end of the 1800s. From Italian immigrants in Pennsylvania, to rural settlers and Indians in New Mexico, to Blackfeet in Montana, local hunters' traditions of using wildlife have clashed with conservationist ideas of proper hunting for over a century. Louis Warren contends that these confl…
