A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

In this gracefully written, insightful, deeply researched history of an under-studied part of North America, Andrews tells a story of the fracturing of an environmental order. The chronological scope and interdisciplinary breadth of the work are impressive. This is environmental history at its best.--Andrew Isenberg, author of "Wyatt Earp: A Vigilante Life"

Andrews has followed up his Bancroft Prize winning "Killing for Coal" with an exquisitely wrought portrait of an out-of-the-way place that must be central to our understanding of the American West s past, present, and future: the headwaters of the Colorado River in what today is Rocky Mountain National Park. "Coyote Valley" is brilliant and beautiful, a must-read for anyone interested in the complex history of the nation s iconic landscapes. --Ari Kelman, author of "A Misplaced Massacre: Struggling over the Memory of Sand Creek""

Those interested to learn how historians now write about the ever-changing dynamics among people, nature, and culture need look no further than this book. "Coyote Valley" defines the cutting edge of environmental history. --Pekka Hamalainen, author of "The Comanche Empire"

"A compelling study of the Rocky Mountain National Park, from deep history to uncertain future."Times Literary Supplement

Andrews covers much ground eons of time, too from the prehistoric era to the present to offer a deep history of a small patch of ground in the Rockies Those with environmental concerns and others with interests in Native history will derive much from Andrews fine book. --P. D. Travis"Choice" (04/01/2016)"

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Thomas Andrews drills deep into the many pressures that have reshaped a small stretch of North America, from the ice age to the advent of the Anthropocene and controversies over climate change. He brings to the surface lessons about the critical relationships to land, climate, and species that only seemingly unimportant places on Earth can teach.
