Conserving America: A Bibliographical Guide to Printed Material in the British Library Relating to American Environmental History and Thought

Abstract

• The purpose of this bibliography is to list the significant studies of American Environment History found in the British Library. Because no clear line can be drawn between conservation, reclamation, ecology and natural history, each is included. This bibliography does not contain references to all the holdings on the topic in the British Library, but the serious student will find the most significant studies herein. And because environmental issues are international in scope, a comparative section is included as well. Finally a chronology of events and governmental legislation is provided.
