A look at the relationship between nature and culture in American history to 1900, from the search for the Northwest Passage, through the expedition of Lewis and Clark, to a final section showing how nature was adapted to urban settings such as Central Park.
Gunther Barth''s book focuses on the relation between nature and culture in American history.
