  Car Country: An Environmental History: Weyerhaeuser Environmental Books , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 720min

  For most people in the United States, going almost anywhere begins with reaching for the car keys. This is true, Christopher Wells argues, because the United States is Car Country, a nation dominated by landscapes that are difficult, inconvenient, and often unsafe to navigate by those who are not sitting behind the wheel of a car.The prevalence of car-dependent landscapes seems perfectly natural to us today, but it is, in fact, a relatively new historical development. In Car Country, Wells rejects the idea that the nation's automotive status quo can be explained as a simple byproduct of an ardent love affair with the automobile. Instead, he takes listeners on a tour of the evolving American landscape, charting the ways that transportation policies and land-use practices have combined to reshape nearly every element of the built environment around the easy movement of automobiles. Wells untangles the complicated relationships between automobiles and the environment, allowing listeners to see the everyday world in a completely new way. The result is a history that is essential for understanding American transportation and land-use issues today."An excellent and needed addition." (The Michigan Historical Review)"Wells's book is a remarkable achievement." (Southern California Quarterly)"Wells offers a terrific excavation of the sprawlscape that still drives our days." (Human Ecology) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Carrico. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/163615/bk_acx0_163615_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  The Promise of Wilderness: American Environmental Politics since 1964 (Weyerhaeuser Environmental Books) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1257min

  The Promise of Wilderness examines how the idea of wilderness has shaped the management of public lands since the passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964. Wilderness preservation has engaged diverse groups of citizens, from hunters and ranchers to wildlife enthusiasts and hikers, as political advocates who have leveraged the resources of local and national groups toward a common goal. Turner demonstrates how these efforts have contributed to major shifts in modern American environmental politics, which have emerged not just in reaction to a new generation of environmental concerns, such as environmental justice and climate change, but also in response to changed debates over old conservation issues, such as public lands management. He also shows how battles over wilderness protection have influenced American politics more broadly, fueling disputes over the proper role of government, individual rights, and the interests of rural communities; giving rise to radical environmentalism; and playing an important role in the resurgence of the conservative movement, especially in the American West.The book is published by University of Washington Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks."Required reading for environmental historians, but this magnificent book has value well beyond the field. (The Journal of American History)"Turner’s landmark new book shows that [wilderness preservation] was perennially inclusive and cutting-edge." (Pacific Historical Review)"An epic history of the heart, soul, and mind of the wilderness community over the last fifty years." (William H. Meadows, Former President, The Wilderness Society) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirk Winkler. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/178190/bk_acx0_178190_sample.mp3.

  Tangled Roots: The Appalachian Trail and American Environmental Politics: Weyerhaeuser Environmental Books , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 487min

  The Appalachian Trail, a thin ribbon of wilderness running through the densely populated eastern United States, offers a refuge from modern society and a place apart from human ideas and institutions. But as environmental historian - and thru-hiker - Sarah Mittlefehldt argues, the trail is also a conduit for community engagement and a model for public-private cooperation and environmental stewardship.In Tangled Roots, Mittlefehldt tells the story of the trail’s creation. The project was one of the first in which the National Park Service attempted to create public wilderness space within heavily populated, privately owned lands. Originally a regional grassroots endeavor, under federal leadership the trail project retained unprecedented levels of community involvement. As citizen volunteers came together and entered into conversation with the National Parks Service, boundaries between “local” and “nonlocal”, “public” and “private,” “amateur” and “expert” frequently broke down. Today, as Mittlefehldt tells us, the Appalachian Trail remains an unusual hybrid of public and private efforts and an inspiring success story of environmental protection.The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks."Compelling history of the Appalachian Trail." (North Carolina Historical Review)"A welcome addition to the history of US environmental policy and politics." (American Historical Review)"What a wonderful book! Beautifully written and brilliantly argued, Tangled Roots reveals the hidden - and ultimately hopeful - history of the Appalachian Trail." (Nancy Langston, Great Lakes Research Center) ungekürzt.

  Behind the Curve: Science and the Politics of Global Warming: Weyerhaeuser Environmental Books , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 541min

  In 1958, Charles David Keeling began measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. His project kicked off a half century of research that has expanded our knowledge of climate change. Despite more than 50 years of research, however, our global society has yet to find real solutions to the problem of global warming. Why?In Behind the Curve, Joshua Howe attempts to answer this question. He explores the history of global warming from its roots as a scientific curiosity to its place at the center of international environmental politics. The audiobook follows the story of rising CO2 through a number of historical contexts, highlighting the relationships among scientists, environmentalists, and politicians as those relationships changed over time.While we know much more about global warming than we did 50 years ago, CO2 continues to rise. In 1958, Keeling first measured CO2 at around 315 parts per million; by 2013, global CO2 had soared to 400 ppm. The problem is not getting better - it's getting worse. Behind the Curve offers a critical and levelheaded look at how we got here.The book is published by University of Washington Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marcus Freeman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/173315/bk_acx0_173315_sample.mp3.

  Smell Detectives: An Olfactory History of 19th-Century Urban America (Weyerhaeuser Environmental Books) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 622min

  What did 19th-century cities smell like? And how did odors matter in the formation of a modern environmental consciousness? Smell Detectives follows the 19th-century Americans who used their noses to make sense of the sanitary challenges caused by rapid urban and industrial growth. Melanie Kiechle examines nuisance complaints, medical writings, domestic advice, and myriad discussions of what constituted fresh air, and argues that 19th-century city dwellers, anxious about the air they breathed, attempted to create healthier cities by detecting and then mitigating the most menacing odors. Medical theories in the 19th century assumed that foul odors caused disease and that overcrowded cities, filled with new and stronger stinks, were synonymous with disease and danger. But the sources of offending odors proved difficult to pinpoint. The creation of city health boards introduced new conflicts between complaining citizens and the officials in charge of the air. Smell Detectives looks at the relationship between the construction of scientific expertise, on the one hand, and "common sense" - the olfactory experiences of common people - on the other. Although the rise of germ theory revolutionized medical knowledge and ultimately undid this form of sensory knowing, Smell Detectives recovers how city residents used their sense of smell and their health concerns about foul odors to understand, adjust to, and fight against urban environmental changes. The book is published by University of Washington Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dana Brewer Harris. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/101461/bk_acx0_101461_sample.mp3.

  Iceland Imagined: Nature, Culture, and Storytelling in the North Atlantic: A Weyerhaeuser Environmental Book , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min

  Iceland, Greenland, Northern Norway, and the Faroe Islands lie on the edges of Western Europe, in an area long portrayed by travelers as remote and exotic - its nature harsh, its people reclusive. Since the middle of the 18th century, however, this marginalized region has gradually become part of modern Europe, a transformation that is narrated in Karen Oslund's Iceland Imagined. This cultural and environmental history sweeps across the dramatic North Atlantic landscape, exploring its unusual geography, saga narratives, language, culture, and politics, and analyzing its emergence as a distinctive and symbolic part of Europe. The earliest visions of a wild frontier, filled with dangerous and unpredictable inhabitants, eventually gave way to images of beautiful, well-managed lands, inhabited by simple but virtuous people living close to nature. This transformation was accomplished by state-sponsored natural histories of Iceland which explained that the monsters described in medieval and Renaissance travel accounts did not really exist, and by artists who painted the Icelandic landscapes to reflect their fertile and regulated qualities. Literary scholars and linguists who came to Iceland and Greenland in the 19th century related the stories and the languages of the "wild North" to those of their home countries. Karen Oslund is assistant professor of world history at Towson University in Maryland. The book is published by University of Washington Press. "The great contribution of Iceland Imagined is to help us understand the mental geographies that over the past quarter millennium have come to define the North Atlantic - and that teach us more than we might think about the rest of the world." (from the Foreword by William Cronon) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cynthia Wallace. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/002968/bk_acx0_002968_sample.mp3.
