Given the ubiquity of environmental rhetoric in the modern world, it's easy to think that the meaning of the terms environment and environmentalism are and always have been self-evident. In this wide-ranging history of the concept, Etienne S. But in Surroundings, we learn that the environmental past is much more complex than it seems at first glance.
Bold and deeply Benson uncovers the diversity of forms that environmentalism has taken over the last two centuries and opens our eyes to the promising new varieties of environmentalism that are emerging today.Through a series of richly contextualized case studies, Benson shows us how and why particular groups of people--from naturalists in Napoleonic France in the 1790s to global climate change activists today--adopted the concept of environment and adapted it to their specific needs and challenges.
