Product Review
"Dunlap's fine book, accessible to both scholars and a popular audience, covers many other provocative issues, including early-twentieth-century conservation efforts and late-twentieth-century environmental activism." Suzanne Marshall, History "what the book does, it does well.Dunlap handles his subjects deftly and concisely. The result is a kind of popularization not unlike that which it celebrates. The book stands to formal historical scholarhsip as the natural history essay does to formal science. It reads like a guided nature walk through environmental history - not a terrible way to learn about a new place, or a terrible way to introduce the complex settlement history of four nations." Journal of Interdisciplinary History "very well organized and very well documented." Choice "very well organized and very well documented." Choice

Reader Reviews
...and it's dedicated to me, so I kind of had to read it. Still, I'm glad I did. It was more interesting than I expected, discussing the evolution of settlers to being "native" to North America and the Antipodes. About a chapter into it, I stopped reading out of fillial duty, and kept going because I was interested. (How could I resist the events on-board the H.M.S. Bounty being described as "a crisis in labor relations"?) Now, I'm going to have to read his other books. So, in my unbiased opinion, buy lots of copies so that I can go to grad school.
