It can be said that all of human history is environmental history, for all human action happens in an environment—in a place. This collection of essays explores the environmental history of the Pacific Northwest of North America, addressing questions of how humans have adapted to the northwestern landscape and modified it over time, and how the changing landscape in turn affected human society, economy, laws, and values.
Northwest Lands and Peoples includes essays by historians, anthropologists, ecologists, a botanist, geographers, biologists, law professors, and a journalist. It addresses a wide variety of topics indicative of current scholarship in the rapidly growing field of environmental history.

About the Author:
ENV
From Library Journal:
These 24 essays, drawn from a symposium on Northwest environmental history held in Pullman, WA, in August 1996, address questions of how humans have adapted to and modified the environment of the Pacific Northwest. Contributors include historians, anthropologists, ethnoecologists, geographers, biologists, law professors, and well-known names such as Dan Flores, William Dietrich, William L. Land, and William G. Robbins. The interdisciplinary essays are divided in six sections introduced by a brief synopsis, which summarizes the authors' main points and places them in the context of the Pacific Northwest's bioregional history. The multiple points of view provoke questions and analytical thinking. Recommended for libraries with regional and environmental history collections.
