The American environment revisited: environmental historical geographies of the United States

This innovative book provides a dynamic - and often surprising - view of the range of environmental issues facing the United States today.

A distinguished group of scholars examines the growing temporal, spatial and thematic breadth of topics historical geographers are now exploring. 17 original chapters examine topics such as forest conservation, mining landscapes, urban environment justice, solid waste, exotic species, environmental photography, national and state park management, recreation and tourism and pest control.
