Armitage shows how the story of American enviornmentalism -- part philosophy, part social movement -- is in no small way a story of America itself, the way citizens have self-organizd, how they have thought of their communities and their government, and how they have used their power to protect and enrich the land. Armitage skillfully analyzes the economic and social forces begetting environmental change and emphasizes the reponses of a variety of ordinary Americans -- as well as a few well-known leaders -- to these complex issues. This concise and engaging survey of more than 250 years of activism tells the story of a magnificent American achievement -- and the ongoing problems that environmentalism faces."-- Dust jacket. 650 0 $a Environmentalism $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Non-governmental organizations $x Political activity. 650 7 $a Environmentalism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913543 650 7 $a Non-governmental organizations $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01038541 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a The American ways series. 941 $a 4 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20190523010025.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20180912010226.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20180515030353.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180403021741.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E2D7198008AF11E8917D353297128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
