From the Publisher:
Hays provides an overview of environmental politics during the last half century, both its formative and its maturing years, that will be useful to those who are actively engaged in environmental affairs and those who wish to watch and assess it from the sidelines. His themes are both simple and diverse. His overall focus is on the emergence of an environmental culture which has engaged millions of Americans in varied ways of thought and action, on the one hand, and the intense opposition to that drive on the other.
About the Author:
Hays explores a wide range of issues such as the role of nature in an urban society; pollution and its causes and effects; the impact of an ever increasing population and its voracious appetite to consume. At the same time he follows these threads through science, technology, economics, management, the structure of politics and the results of policy.
A History of Environmental Politics since 1945 provides an introduction to the subject for both the specialist and the lay audience, the general public and the student. It provides a high level of insight that will inform both those who are environmental experts and those who wish to take a first step at grasping the meaning of environmental affairs. It constitutes a formative guide for a subject that promises to engage the nation ever more fully in the years to come.
Samuel P. Hays, the recipient of the 1999 Organization of American Historians Distinguished Service Award, is professor emeritus of history at the University of Pittsburgh, and is author of Explorations in Environmental History; Conservation and the Gospel of Efficiency: The Progressive Conservation Movement, 18901920; and, with Barbara D. Hays, Beauty, Health, and Permanence: Environmental Politics in the United States, 19551985, now considered a classic in the field. He and Barbara have amassed an extensive collection of documents, covering foreign and domestic issues and including material from all fifty states and more than four-hundred nationally circulated environmental periodicals, state newsletters and magazines, now housed in the Environmental Archives of the Archives of Industrial Society at the University of Pittsburgh.
