{"product_id":"9780415808712","title":"The Environment In American History: Nature And The Formation Of The United States","description":"The Environment in American History is a detailed environmental history of America from the era prior to European contact to the present day. Jeff Crane shows the critical role of nature and the natural wealth of the continent in determining the type of society that emerged in the New World, as well as in America¿s rise to wealth and power. The book is organized into 15 chronologically focused chapters, each bolstered with a selection of primary documents, as well as images and profiles of key figures or events. Within this chronological outline, Crane discusses land use, environmental change, destruction of habitats and species, the impact of environmental change on humans, and responses of the United States to the destruction of nature, both at home and in the world at large. This text takes students from where they are, in a time when most undergraduates think that environmentalism only means making sure to recycle, and shows them how our society has always been related to our environment. It is a true survey of the environment in American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eJeff Crane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eRoutledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eDec 08, 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e454 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0415808715\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780415808712\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49113463521585,"sku":"9780415808712","price":223.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9780415808712.jpg?v=1714580494","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780415808712","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
