Changes in the Land: Indians, Colonists, and the Ecology of New EnglandEntry/Object ID
2017.108Description
"William Cronon offers a profound explanation of the European colonists' sense of property, and the effects that their pursuit of capitalism had upon the ecosystems of New England. Changes in the Land provides a brilliant interdisciplinary interpretation of how land and people influence one another. With its chilling closing line, "The people of plenty were a people of waste," Cronon's enduring and thought-provoking book is ethno-ecological history at its best." - Amazon
