Review
[Man and Nature was] the rudest kick in the face that American initiative, optimism, and carelessness had yet received.
(Wallace Stegner)It is no exaggeration to say that Man and Nature launched the modern conservation movement. It helped Americans in the second half of the nineteenth century recognize the damage they were doing to the natural environment, and challenged them to behave in more responsible ways toward the earth and its natural systems. . . . Man and Nature stands right next to Silent Spring and A Sand County Almanac by any measure of historic significance.
(William Cronon, from the Foreword)Book Description
First published in 1864, Man and Nature inspired the modern conservation movement and was the most influential text of its time next to Darwin’s On the Origin of Species.
