Tornado God: American Religion and Violent Weather
Tornadoes are terrifyingly capricious and powerful. Unique geography creates more tornadoes in the United States than in the rest of the world combined. I have a healthy respect for them shading into visceral fear. At 7:00 p.m. on June 8, 1966, when I was eleven, an F5 tornado, the most destructive on the Fujita scale, passed within a mile of my home in Topeka, Kansas, and leveled to the foundations the neighborhood where we had lived just until …
The Earth Will Appear as the Garden of Eden: Essays on Mormon Environmental History
For about forty years, the fields of environmental history and Mormon studies have each enjoyed tremendous growth. Rarely, however, have scholars brought the two fields together in a single analysis. The editors of the twelve essays in The Earth Will Appear as the Garden of Eden, by leading historians of the Latter-day Saints (Lds), aim to contribute to a Mormon environmental history and stimulate further work on the subject. The editors have div…
Devoted to Nature: The Religious Roots of American Environmentalism
Evan Berry wrote Devoted to Nature, a revision of his dissertation, to illuminate a crucial factor overlooked by most histories of the American environmental movement, that of religious influence. “The roots of environmentalism grew in religious soil,” Berry writes (p. 4). Most environmental historians lack any training in religious studies and have consistently undervalued or downplayed Christian sources and context for the conservation and earl…
Sagacious” Bernard Palissy: Pinchot, Marsh, and the Connecticut Origins of American Conservation
To place a new and revealing light on the origins, context, and goals of early American conservation, this article investigates the influence and significance of Bernard Palissy, a sixteenth-century Huguenot artisan renowned for his ceramics and author of two remarkable books. A revival of interest in his ceramics led in the middle of the nineteenth century to his rediscovery in America, where his comments on forests made him a hero to early cons…
Milton in Yosemite: Paradise Lost and the National Parks Idea
“Milton in Yosemite” investigates the reasons why certain English and American visitors to Yosemite so often described the valley in religious terms, particularly in terms of an Eden. Reformed Protestantism developed a peculiarly strong nostalgia for Eden that John Milton gave a powerful form in Paradise Lost. The poem’s influence on Reformed culture in England and America reached Yosemite via three important paths: landscape architecture, landsc…
To Love the Wind and the Rain: African Americans and Environmental History
To Love the Wind and the Rain is a groundbreaking and vivid analysis of the relationship between African Americans and the environment in US history. It focuses on three major themes: African Americans in the rural environment, African Americans in the urban and suburban environments, and African Americans and the notion of environmental justice. Meticulously researched, the essays cover subjects including slavery, hunting, gardening, religion, t…
