Bøker av Richard W. Judd

In this innovative study of the rise of the conservation ethic in northern New England, Richard Judd shows that the movement had its roots in the communitarian ethic of countrypeople rather than among urban intellectuals or politicians.

Defines the environmental imagination as the attempt to secure 'a sense of freedom, permanence, and authenticity through communion with nature'. This book reconstructs the environmental imagination from public commentary, legislative records, and other documents. It sheds light on the ways that ideals unify and divide the environmental movement.
