We Gather Together
The modern Religious Right has been a force in American politics for the last forty years and, as such, has attracted considerable interest among political historians. In fact, the politics of it all – specific leaders, laws, court decisions, and the like—has dominated the historiography. In the majority view, the odd coalition that made up the Religious Right, primarily conservative Catholics and evangelical Protestants, found common cause react…

The Malthusian Moment
This is an ambitious book; its goal to explain the roots of environmentalism through the lens of concern for overpopulation. Proceeding chronologically from World War I to the present, Worcester Polytechnic Institute historian Thomas Robertson, a former student of William Cronon, crafts an excellent synthesis worthy of his mentor. Malthusian attitudes evolved from a milieu of factors such as science, culture, race, gender, economics, politics, an…
Richard Nixon, Russell Train, and the Birth of Modern American Environmental Diplomacy
In the spring of 1972, Russell E. Train, chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality under President Richard Nixon, invited Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin to lunch at Washington's tony Metropolitan Club. Train had already developed a friendly relationship with the powerful diplomat but this was no casual social call. Train had an agenda that his own boss, John Ehrlichman, one of Nixon's top advisers, had cleared prior to the meeting. The…

Serving on the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, he developed an impressive record battling for national parks, monuments, and wilderness areas. His accomplishments include the monumental Land and Water Conservation Act. With this text, Nichols College historian Thomas G. Smith does a fine job arguing fo…

Acts of God
At first glance, this history of twentieth-century American natural disasters appears little more than a rehash of a conclusion obvious to most environmental historians, that America's interaction with the natural world has contributed to the destructiveness of nature's fury. In fact, the author, Te d Steinberg, delves deeper into the question of man's complicity, with the result an intriguing study that harshly indicts economic and political int…
