  • Loving Nature, Fearing the State

    Brian Allen Drake, Paul S Sutter et al.BOOKLoving Nature, Fearing the State2013

    A "conservative environmental tradition" in America may sound like a contradiction in terms, but as Brian Allen Drake shows in Loving Nature, Fearing the State , right-leaning politicians and activists have shaped American environmental consciousness since the environmental movement's beginnings. In this wide-ranging history, Drake explores the tensions inherent in balancing an ideology dedicated to limiting the power of government with a commitm…

  • Toxic Archipelago

    Brett L Walker, William CrononBOOKToxic Archipelago2011Citada por: 8

    Every person on the planet is entangled in a web of ecological relationships that link farms and factories with human consumers. Our lives depend on these relationships -- and are imperiled by them as well. Nowhere is this truer than on the Japanese archipelago. During the nineteenth century, Japan saw the rise of Homo sapiens industrialis, a new breed of human transformed by an engineered, industrialized, and poisonous environment. Toxins moved …

    Robert M Wilson, William CrononBOOKSeeking Refuge2010

    worlds. Friendly to fellow whites, and protective of missionaries (Catholic and Protestant alike, although not religious himself) as well as his extended Indian family, Craig also had the reputation of a violent side. That reputation dates to his origins in Virginia, where at age eighteen, he purportedly killed a man in selfdefense but fled, fearing retribution and ending up in St. Louis. During his fur-trade years (from about 12 to 140), Crai…

  • Forest Dreams, Forest Nightmares

    Nancy Langston, William CrononBOOKForest Dreams, Forest Nightmares2009Citada por: 6

    Across the inland West, forests that once seemed like paradise have turned into an ecological nightmare. Fires, insect epidemics, and disease now threaten millions of acres of once-bountiful forests. Yet no one can agree what went wrong. Was it too much management—or not enough—that forced the forests of the inland West to the verge of collapse? Is the solution more logging, or no logging at all? In this gripping work of scientific and historical…

  • On the Road Again

    William Wyckoff, William CrononBOOKOn the Road Again2006

The older photographs, preserved in the archives of the Montana Historical Society, were intended to document the expenditure of federal highway funds. Because it is nearly impossible to photograph a road without also photogr…
