    Mark V BarrowARTICLEJournal of American History2016Cited by: 1

    The 1960s and 1970s were a time of heightened anxiety about urban decline in the United States, when central cities became objects of widespread fear and white flight fueled the growth of suburban communities that sprouted up around them. This was also a period when American zoos grappled with a growing sense of unease about their programs and exhibits. In this innovative study, the visual and cultural historian Lisa Uddin argues not only that ur…

  • Reconsidering Raptors During the Interwar Years

    Mark V BarrowCHAPTERNature's Ghosts2013

    In 1940—as U.S. participation in World War II loomed on the horizon—the Bald Eagle Protection Act finally became law. As the only eagle with a range restricted to North America, the species soon became commonly known as the American eagle and widely adopted as an emblem of the young nation's freedom, power, and sovereignty. Yet, despite the nationalistic symbolism associated with this quintessential example of charismatic megafauna, the move to g…

    Mark V BarrowCHAPTERNature's Ghosts2013

    In addition to his considerable accomplishment in the political sphere, Thomas Jefferson was also a skilled naturalist who made early, important contributions to the field of paleontology.

  • Enter Ecology Preserving Nature's Living Laboratory

    Mark V BarrowCHAPTERNature's Ghosts2013

    In a March 1920 essay published in the Scientific Monthly, the American naturalist Francis B. Sumner noted that warnings issued by several authors about impending extinction were overly narrow. Trained as an ecologist, Sumner sought to combine the rigor of laboratory methods with extensive work in the field. The science of ecology emerged during a period of reform fervor in American biology. By the 1880s and 1890s, a new laboratory-based embryolo…

  • The Specter of Extinction

    Mark V BarrowARTICLEEnvironmental History2011References: 2

    This paper explores how naturalists have engaged with the issue of wildlife extinction over the last two centuries. After a long period of resisting the notion of extinction, based on beliefs in the great chain of being and the balance of nature, naturalists finally accepted the idea in the early nineteenth century. By the end of that century, they not only began routinely documenting wildlife extinction but also mobilizing to stop it. That campa…
