{"product_id":"natures-crossroads-george-vrtis-9780822947387","title":"Nature's Crossroads: The Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota","description":"\u003cp\u003eMinnesota's Twin Cities have long been powerful engines of change. From their origins in the early nineteenth century, the Twin Cities helped drive the dispossession of the region's Native American peoples, turned their riverfronts into bustling industrial and commercial centers, spread streets and homes outward to the horizon, and reached well beyond their urban confines, setting in motion the environmental transformation of distant hinterlands. As these processes unfolded, residents inscribed their culture into the landscape, complete with all its tensions, disagreements, contradictions, prejudices, and social inequalities. These stories lie at the heart of \u003ci\u003eNature's Crossroads\u003c\/i\u003e. The book features an interdisciplinary team of distinguished scholars who aim to open new conversations about the environmental history of the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Vrtis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822947382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822947387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.06w x 1.57d","brand":"George Vrtis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075436310783,"sku":"9780822947387","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02faef82-53af-4e35-a095-4f5ea4b04cc5.jpg?v=1685459411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/natures-crossroads-george-vrtis-9780822947387","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
