George Perkins Marsh's "Man and Nature" was the first book to
attack the American myth of the superabundance and the
inexhaustibility of the earth. It was, as Lewis Mumford said, "the
fountainhead of the conservation movement," and few books since
have had such an influence on the way men view and use land. "It is
worth reading after a hundred years," Mr. Lowenthal points out,
"not only because it taught important lessons in its day, but also
because it still teaches them so well...Historical insight and
contemporary passion make "Man and Nature" an enduring
classic."
