Reviews
"Using the environmental movement as a case study, Samuel Hays looks at the way in which values emerge, are articulated in the public arena, come into conflict with established systems of production and governance, change the system, and are changed by it. Here are the considered thoughts of an excellent historian on major changes in postwar America and, as such, essential reading for anyone interested in the period." Pacific Historical Review, "Hays argues that environmentalists arose from a 'fundamental and central' change in values among the American people following World War II. In developing his thesis Hays gives nearly encyclopedic coverage to a wide range of environmental issues, from wild lands, to toxics, to population growth, and examines attempts to resolve those issues in legislative, administrative, and judicial forums. This is a very important book. It raises issues of concern to all American historians and thus deserves wide reading and vigorous debate." Journal of American History, "...may be the most important recent work in environmental history. It is addressed to the general public, citizen activists, environmental decision makers, and historians. Encyclopedic, it covers the history of the the urban environment, public wildlands, the countryside, toxic problems, and issues of population, resources, and the limits of growth." ISIS
