Johnson, Benjamin Heber. Escaping the dark, gray city: fear and hope in Progressive-era conservation. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2017, 1st printing number line ending in 1, 311pp., very good dust-jacket, very good light blue gray hardcover, appears unused but top foredge slightly soiled. Democracy and urban landscapes. - A compelling and long-overdue exploration of the Progressive-era conservation movement, and its lasting effects on American culture, politics, and contemporary environmentalism The turn of the twentieth century caught America at a crossroads, shaking the dust from a bygone era and hurtling toward the promises of modernity. Factories, railroads, banks, and oil fields - all reshaped the American landscape and people. In the gulf between growing wealth and the ills of an urbanizing nation, the spirit of Progressivism emerged. Promising a return to democracy and a check on concentrated wealth, Progressives confronted this changing relationship to the environment - not only in the countryside but also in dense industrial cities and leafy suburbs. Drawing on extensive work in urban history and Progressive politics, Benjamin Heber Johnson weaves together environmental history, material culture, and politics to reveal the successes and failures of the conservation movement and its lasting legacy. By following the efforts of a broad range of people and groups - women's clubs, labor advocates, architects, and politicians - Johnson shows how conservation embodied the ideals of Progressivism, ultimately becoming one of its most important legacies. - CONTENTS Introduction -- Frontier, market, and environmental crisis -- Landscapes of reform -- Back to nature -- Fighting for conservation -- Fighting over conservation -- Fighting against conservation -- Epilogue.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A richly researched, evocative account of the individuals and institutions involved in the settling of the non-Indian West-and of the impact of the development of the West on the nation as a whole.Making of the American West surveys the experiences of major social groups in the lands from the Mississippi to the Pacific, from the United States' penetration of the region in the early 19th century to its incorporation into national political, economic, and cultural fabric by the early 20th century.This revealing volume offers fascinating portraits of the people and institutions that drove the Western conquest (traders and trappers, ranchers and settlers, corporations, the federal government), as well as of those who resisted conquest or hoped for the emergence of a different society (Indian peoples, Latinos, Asians, wage laborers). Throughout, expert contributors continually return to the growing myth of the West and the impact of its promise of freedom and opportunity on those who sought to 'Americanize' it.
