Environmentalism, Revised Edition

Pearson Press has just released a revised edition of Environmentalism as part of their Seminar Studies series.  This book is an updated version of my book of the same title published in 2006 in their Short History of Big Ideas series but also contains twenty-seven primary sources, from Beowulf to the 2010 Report of the League Against Cruel Sports from England and Wales.  The book is intended largely for both the general reader and university courses.  It differs from most histories of nature loving in its length (short) and breadth (the western world).  This is not a celebration of nature loving.  Rather, I am interested in unraveling a disturbing paradox: why our celebrations of and efforts to conserve nature have been most intense at times and in places where people have most exploited it.
