Somewhere in the balance, however, parks and preserves have endured as unique places of mind as well as matter. \u003ci\u003ePlaces of Quiet Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e allows us to see parks and preserves, forests and wildlife refuges--all those special places that the term \"park\" conjures up--as measures of our own commitment to caring for the environment. In this broad-ranging book, historian Rebecca Conard examines the complexity of American environmentalism in the twentieth century as manifest in Iowa's state parks and preserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Conard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0877455589\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877455585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.19w x 0.96d","brand":"Rebecca Conard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447807783167,"sku":"9780877455585","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38855ab1-5d5e-48c6-8600-8f58b8c0f3df.jpg?v=1777234953","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/places-of-quiet-beauty-rebecca-conard-9780877455585","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
