Produktbeschreibung
Gunther Barth's book focuses on the relation between nature and culture in American history. He begins with the search for a Northwest Passage by Spanish and English explorers and describes how they learned about American natural phenomena. There is a section showing how nature was adapted to urban settings in cemeteries and in city parks like New York's Central Park and San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.
The tension between nature and culture that accompanies the rise of any large society has become a subject of great concern in our time. America in particular has adhered to a cultural mission that accentuates the potential for conflict, building a nation within the span of a century on the exploitation of gigantic resources. In this compelling study, the author identifies fleeting moments of concord between nature and culture in the course of American history.
