Out of all the boring books we had to read, this one at least was interesting. And it was clear. I loved it.

American Environmentalism

This book is excellent. The anthologies available for the environmental movement in the United States are quite outdated, and we have needed another for a long time. The selections cover the subject matter very well, and keep the reader (and my students) interested--no small feat! His introduction is actually the best brief treatment of the subject I have ever read. I highly recommend this book. While my specialty is the history of fire, I find this book an extremely useful "big picture" for any class on environmentalism.

Just love it. The readings are fascinating, and the introduction to each piece gives me the framework I need to understand it. The book gives proper balance to women's issues and takes a broad sociological approach--helps me understand more about the United States, as well as Environmentalism. Highly recommend this book!
