Description

According to this innovative study, the conservation movement that eventually took hold throughout America had its roots among the communitarian ethic of New England countryfolk, rather than urban intellectuals or politicians. Judd tells us that ordinary people, struggling to define and redefine the morality of land and resource use, contributed immensely to America's conservation legacy. 3 maps. 24 photos.
