The Fight to Save the Redwoods: A History of the Environmental Reform, 1917-1978

by Susan R. Schrepfer

Book Overview

"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
