Camping Grounds: Public Nature in American Life from the Civil War to the Occupy Movement
Camping Grounds is a rich and compelling book that follows two intersecting paths through the history of camping. The most obvious path is that of recreational camping, from national parks to the National Outdoor Leadership School. The second path is the history of protest camping, from Civil War veterans to Occupy protesters. Of these two paths, the history of recreational camping is well trod, yet Phoebe S. K. Young's analysis adds much to the …

Charging up Battery Recycling Policies: Extended Producer Responsibility for Single‐Use Batteries in the European Union, Canada, and the United States
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) policies have proven effective at raising consumer awareness, expanding waste collection infrastructure, and shifting costs of end‐of‐life (EOL) management from municipalities to stewardship organizations. Yet, such policies have been less successful in advancing waste management programs that ensure a net environmental benefit. This article analyzes how EPR policies for single‐use batteries in the European …
Following the Pb: An Envirotechnical Approach to Lead-Acid Batteries in the United States
If recycling is a harbinger of a more sustainable society, then the lead-acid battery industry offers an apparent model of success. In the United States, more than 97 percent of lead-acid batteries have been recycled since the early 1990s. But this record of success is not new. The lead industry has been recovering lead from spent batteries on an industrial scale since the 1920s. This article takes a novel approach to explain the historical dynam…
Counting Carbon: The Politics of Carbon Footprints and Climate Governance from the Individual to the Global
This article considers carbon footprints as a form of climate governance. Drawing on science studies to consider the contingent nature of calculative devices and governmentality studies to examine the intrinsic relationship between how problems are framed and remedied, this article advances two arguments. First, it argues that efforts to define and deploy carbon footprints contributed to a conceptual shift in emissions accounting, from a narrower…
Brian Allen Drake. Loving Nature, Fearing the State: Environmentalism and Antigovernment Politics before Reagan
The usual story of modern American environmental politics follows the transition from a golden era of bipartisanship and legislative innovation, which defined the 1960s and 1970s, to an era of partisanship and legislative gridlock, which has hampered environmental reform since the 1980s. During the golden era, environmental activists worked with Democrats and Republicans to lay the legislative groundwork of the modern environmental regulatory sta…

The Specter of Environmentalism: Wilderness, Environmental Politics, and the Evolution of the New Right
In 1982 conservative Republicans in the House of Representatives released an internal report titled “The Specter of Environmentalism.” Coming on the heels of Ronald Reagan's landslide election in 1980, the appointment of James Watt to the Department of the Interior, and, above all, growing frustration with environmentalism, the Republican Study Committee's report reflected a new conservative opposition to the modern environmental movement. It des…
