New Directions in Forest History, but Please No New Frontiers
Coastal Metropolis
In this collection of essays, Carl A. Zimring and Steven H. Corey bring together established historians of New York City's environment and emerging scholars of the city's infrastructure, waterways, and waste. The volume's thirteen essays focus on the period since 1898, the year of “consolidation,” when what we now know as the five boroughs came together as a single municipality, with Superstorm Sandy in 2012 offering something of a narrative clos…
Law and the Dead Body
The central puzzle of the law of the dead is that a corpse is both a person and a thing. A dead human body is a material object—a messy, maybe dangerous, perhaps valuable, often useful, and always tangible thing. But a dead human being is also something very different: It is also my father, and my friend, perhaps my child, and some day, me. For even the most secular among us, a human corpse is at the least a very peculiar and particular kind of t…
Photographing Slow Disaster
Clean and White
The environmental justice movement in the United States began in the 1980s, but the inequities identified by those activists were many years in the making. In Clean and White Carl A. Zimring locates the origin of inequitable exposures to environmental risks and hazards experienced by nonwhite Americans to the intertwined histories of racist ideologies, public health and hygiene, and urban sanitation. Zimring centers his history of environmental r…
Susan Rimby. Mira Lloyd Dock and the Progressive Era Conservation Movement
Mira Lloyd Dock was twenty-three years old in 1876 when her mother Lavinia died. Dock was the oldest child of six, and she and her closest sister Vinnie helped their father raise the younger four children. When their father died of pneumonia almost twenty years later, Dock and two of her sisters were still living in the family's Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, home. Shortly after his death, the three women moved to a smaller house, and before the year …

Does Nature Always Matter? Following Dirt through History
Despite several decades of impressive scholarship in environmental history, the field remains largely marginal to the discipline as a whole. Environmental stories are still more likely to turn up in introductions, sidebars, and footnotes to political, social, and economic histories than they are to be incorporated into those narratives in a transformative way, though we as environmental historians know that potential is there. As we struggle to i…
