Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Suburban sprawl, advertising clutter, vast industrial plantations of spindly pines punctuated by stone-lined gutters in place of streams--this was the thoroughly modern landscape of Germany by the turn of the century. Most people ignored the devastating changes in their environment, or quickly rationalized them away as the price that had to be paid for ""progress."" But in 1904, three-quarters of a century before Greenpeace, one group arose that did not compromise on conservation: the movement for ""homeland-protection,"" or Heimatschutz . Aesthetic or ""romantic"" ideas about the environment have often expressed valuable critiques of our all-too-utilitarian modern lifestyle. In the English-speaking world John Ruskin and William Morris are well known for this kind of ecological antimodernism; a very similar aesthetic concern for landscape energized the Heimatschutz movement. Drawing on a wide range of archival and printed sources, many made accessible here for the first time, William H. Rollins shows that this was a broad-based middle-class reform movement that combined social egalitarianism with protection for the entire working landscape. A Greener Vision of Home will appeal to readers in German studies and cultural studies and others interested in some of the roots and major strategies of today's highly visible environmental movement. William H. Rollins is Lecturer in the Department of German, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. The story of a successful citizens' movement to protect the land and encourage a culture of environmental respect in pre-World War I Germany Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
