George W. Bush's religiosity has invited much analysis and
controversy about the impact of religion on government. This
collection of leading scholars' essays first examines the impact of
various religions voting groups on the 2004 presidential campaign,
and then reviews and assesses the impact of religion on the
policies of the Bush presidency.
George W. Bush has invited more analysis and controversy over the
impact of religion on his presidency than perhaps any chief
executive of the modern era. Opinion on Bush's religiosity is
intensely divisive, with conservative evangelicals seeing him as a
man of deep faith and principles and at the same time many
progressives seeing the president as almost dangerously fanatical.
This volume is a scholarly review and analysis of the role of
religion in the Bush presidency. It is divided into two sections of
essays by leading scholars: The first examines the impact of
various religious voting groups to the 2004 presidential campaign.
The second reviews and assesses the impact of religion on the
policies of the George W. Bush presidency.
This volume opens a new avenue toward understanding the politics
and policies of many U.S. presidents. For years, leading scholars
have largely ignored the religious factor in their studies of
presidents. Yet, as the essays in this book reveal, religion has
had an enormous impact on many critical presidencies in U.S.
history. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, these essays reveal
the deeply religious side to such presidents as Truman, Eisenhower,
and Reagan, among others.

From Coastal Wilderness to Fruited Plain is an account of the making of the American landscape following European settlement. It starts with "virgin" forests and grasslands of the central and northeastern United States, and successively documents the clearance and fragmentation of the region's woodlands, the harvest of the forest and its game, the plowing of prairies and the draining of wetlands. The Native American, the trapper, the farmer and the lumberman all benefited from the land and its resources; the degree to which their activities altered the soil, the climate, the natural plant and animal communities, and the water cycle is examined here.
