His magnum opus, \u003ci\u003eTraces on the Rhodian Shore, \u003c\/i\u003e first published in 1967, details the ways in which perceptions of the natural environment have profoundly influenced human enterprise over the centuries while, conversely, permitting humans to radically alter the Earth. Although Glacken did not publish a comparable book before his death in 1989, he did write a follow-up collection of essays--lost works now compiled at last in \u003ci\u003eGenealogies of Environmentalism.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new volume comprises all of Glacken's unpublished writings to follow \u003ci\u003eTraces\u003c\/i\u003e and covers a broad temporal and geographic canvas, spanning the globe from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Each essay offers a brief intellectual biography of an important environmental thinker and addresses questions such as how many people the Earth can hold, what resources can sustain such populations, and where land for growth is located. This collection--carefully edited and annotated, and organized chronologically--will prove both a classic text and a springboard for further discussions on the history of environmental thought. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarence Glacken\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813939089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813939087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.75h x 6.07w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2018","brand":"Clarence Glacken","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926419144959,"sku":"9780813939087","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fe6751b5-ae70-40d9-bfd2-7ab9ee1375be.jpg?v=1681082982","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/genealogies-of-environmentalism-clarence-glacken-9780813939087","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
