The Fight to Save the Redwoods: A History of the Environmental Reform, 1917–1978Univ of Wisconsin Press, 01.04.2003 - 358 Seiten "This is not a simple or ordinary history of a conservation crusade. Schrepfer very ably traces the changes in scientific wisdom from nineteenth-century romanticism and teleological evolutionism to more current ecological dynamism—and the influence of those intellectual developments on political history. . . . The subject is important—much broader than the title suggests—and so is the book."—American Historical Review |
