"O strange new wolrd!" -- World we have lost : people of the land -- Federal geography -- When the United States was an undeveloped country -- Unifying American space -- Romantic America and utopianism : laying claim to paradise -- Determining America's environmental future : the rush to industrialize -- Reshaping the nation : the built environment and public works -- Environmental costs of industrial America : cities and landscapes in trouble -- From nature's water to public works water : America becomes a hydraulic civilization -- Hitting on the wall : environmental limits in Appalachia and on the High Plains. Recovering "original America" : the wilderness movement -- Environmentalism enters the American mainstream : environmental science, Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, and public awareness -- Risk and regulation : environmentalism enters the modern era -- Into the twenty-first century : the United States and the global environment. Nature's Nation examines our consumer-based industrial and urban society and notes the heavy price paid to create this by placing the political, economic, social and cultural development of the U.S within an environmental framework. |
