Covering the 17th century to the contemporary era, this
chronological overview of the role of the environment provides many
insights into one of the most important aspects of American
history. Environmental issues such as deforestation, water
pollution, extinction of indigenous animal species, and climate
change have long existed in the United States. Fortunately, the
American people and their government have demonstrated a
willingness to address environmental concerns. Chronology of
Americans and the Environment encompasses more than four centuries
of dynamic and transformational environmental change that
illustrate the central importance of the environment, natural
resources, and "nature" throughout American history. The author
provides a chronological overview of the significant events, major
figures, and public policy developments throughout the history of
our relationship with the environment, illustrating the sequence of
historical events, cultural ideas, and trends that have led
Americans to take action to protect the environment and public
health. This book also touches upon prehistoric occurrences and
events prior to the arrival of European explorers that provide
context for Native American ideas and attitudes toward nature.
Primary source accounts give a fascinating window into the ideas
and experiences of those who have been instrumental in or witness
to key events in U.S. environmental history Provides a chronology
of events, key figures, ideas, and political developments that
define Americans' relationship with the environment Includes
various photographs and illustrations to accompany topics in the
text A bibliography containing general titles, monographs, and
websites provides sources for further research
