| Description: |
An academic profile of redwood conservation in the mid-20th century. The author traces the changes in scientific wisdom from 19th-century romanticism and teleological evolutionism to more current ecological dynamism - and the influence of those intellectual developments on political history. |
| Synopsis: |
"This is not a simple or ordinary history of a conservation crusade. Schrepfer very ably traces the changes in scientific wisdom from nineteenth-century romanticism and teleological evolutionism to more current ecological dynamism and the influence of those intellectual developments on political history. . . . The subject is important much broader than the title suggests and so is the book." American Historical Review" |
