"A fascinating collection of some of the most compelling arguments in the late 1960s and early 1970s about the environmental crisis. It makes clever use of images, cartoons, PSAs, letters, and testimony." -Char Miller, author of "Gifford Pinchot and the Making of Modern Environmentalism "
"Concentrating on a period of upheaval and change, years when environmentalism developed as part of larger social and cultural currents, "The Environmental Moment" gives students an in-depth look at environmentalism emerging, affecting, and being shaped by other interests in American society and the economy." -Thomas R. Dunlap, editor of "DDT, Silent Spring, and the Rise of Environmentalism "
""The Environmental Moment" is lively and eclectic and does an impressive job of combining classic documents with less well-known ones to get readers thinking about this seemingly familiar topic in unfamiliar ways." -from the Foreword by William Cronon
David Stradling is professor of history at the University of Cincinnati. He is the author of "Making Mountains: New York City and the Catskills" and "The Nature of New York: An Environmental History of the Empire State" and editor of "Conservation in the Progressive Era. "
