About the Author:
Forest and farmland. The Fall Line. Fall colors. The environments of the northeastern and midwestern United States heavily influenced the agriculture and industrial economies of the rest of the nation, and the people of those regions shaped the environment to their uses. Using the stories of actual people, this book shows the interaction of humans and nature from the first inhabitants to modern times.
John T. Cumbler, Ph.D., is professor of history at the University of Louisville, Louisville, KY.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - An engaging, personalized look at the interplay between people and nature in the northeastern and midwestern United States, from prehistory to the present.The Northeast and Midwest regions of the United States provide a fascinating case study for the emergent field of environmental history. These regions, with their varied resources, were central to the early economic success of the nation. Consequently, the early industries in these regions altered and depleted the landscape as people changed their locations and occupations. Fishing and whaling on the northeastern coast have given way to tourism and sailing. The great stands of timber around the Great Lakes have been replaced by farms and dairies. The textile mills, powered by the falls of the Piedmont and once yielding wealth, now stand empty.That humans shape their environment and, in turn, must respond to the consequences is broadly obvious. Using the voices of historical figures, both notable and obscure, this book brings to life the interaction between humans and their environments and illustrates the consequences of those interactions. Part of ABC-CLIO's unique Nature and Human Societies series, this book enables readers to better understand humanity's effect on the environment. Seller Inventory # 9781576079096
