After being appointed the United States Minster Resident to the
Ottoman Empire in 1849, George P. Marsh had the opportunity to
travel the world and visit the sites of ancient civilizations.
Troubled by what he saw, Marsh came to the conclusion that these
societies were victims of self-destruction and that the same fate
could be in store for the nations of today. Moved to action, Marsh
would go on to publish Man and Nature: Or, Physical Geography as
Modified by Human Action in 1864. Considered to be the first major
work of environmental literature, Man and Nature would help to
raise global awareness about the effect of human behavior on the
natural world. Second only to Charles Darwin's On the Origin of the
Species in impact and influence, the book would be instrumental to
the creation of the United States National Forest and launch the
conservation movement into high gear within the United States.
Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this
edition of Man and Nature is a classic of environmental literature,
reimagined for modern readers.
