Reviews / Votes
Anyone involved in current environmental debate and action will find The Fight to Save the Redwoods an important and useful history of the conservation movement. - Environment; ""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 ReviewMore details
