Over the last 60 years, environmental politics and policy have
shaped the modern world and sparked some of the most
controversial-and complicated-disputes in American history. On
issues from toxic chemicals, endangered species, and pollution to
Hurricane Katrina and global climate change, Americans have debated
how to protect the planet and local communities while maintaining a
vibrant economy and high standard of living. The environmental
movement that emerged after World War II transformed American
attitudes toward ecology, land use, and natural resources, raising
issues that the nation had never previously confronted. The
Environment since 1945 examines numerous controversies in
environmental politics and policy since 1945, including the Donora
smog event of 1948, building dams in national parks, the passage of
the National Environmental Protection Act, the banning of DDT, the
Love Canal crisis, the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Makah whale
hunt, and environmental racism. Designed to spark discussion, this
authoritative new resource is essential for anyone interested in
this timely topic and how it affects American history.
