Beskrivning
Bringing together a wide range of environmental issues that have been debated since the mid-1950s, this book views these issues as a result of changes in values in American society since World War II. The author explores such substantive issues as pollution, natural lands, chemical carcinogens, and population-resources balances. He examines the politics of environmental science, economic analysis, planning, and management, and traces the impact of environmental issues on local, state, and federal government. The book explores political controversy to shed light on the working of political institutions and to establish their relationship to social change.

"Hays argues that environmentalists arose from a `fundamental and central' change in values among the American people following World War II. In developing his thesis Hays gives nearly encyclopedic coverage to a wide range of environmental issues, from wild lands, to toxics, to population growth, and examines attempts to resolve those issues in legislative, administrative, and judicial forums. This is a very important book. It raises issues of concern to all American historians and thus deserves wide reading and vigorous debate." Journal of American History
