Sauer (1889--1975) had influence that extends well beyond the confines of any one discipline. With a focus on historical and cultural geography, Sauer's essays have garnered praise from poets, natural historians, and social scientists alike who continue to explore Sauer's work. In Carl Sauer on Culture and Landscape, editors William M. Denevan and Kent Mathewson have compiled thirty-seven of Sauer's original works, including rare early writings, articles in now largely inaccessible publications, and transcriptions of key oral presentations that remain little known.  A student of the relationships between land and life, people and places, Sauer helped establish landscape studies in cultural geography and paved the way for paradigmatic shifts in the scholarly assessment of Native American history. By strongly advocating a land ethic, \"\"a responsible stewardship of the sustaining earth,\"\" for his own and for future generations, Carl Sauer supplied an esthetic rationale and a historical perspective to the environmental movement.  The volume opens with two extended essays on Sauer's critics and his works. Essays by prominent geographers and other authorities on Sauer introduce each section of the book, adding a contemporary element to the presentation and interpretation of Sauer's life and scholarship in areas such as soil conservation, man in nature, and cultivated plants. A complete bibliography of his publications and an extensive compilation of commentaries on his life and work make this an indispensable reference.   Carl Sauer on Culture and Landscape sheds new light on Sauer's contributions to the history of geographic thought, sustainable land use, and the importance of biological and cultural diversity -- all of which remain key issues today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49625245221137,"sku":"GOR013261616","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0807133949.jpg?v=1762597578"},{"product_id":"native-population-of-the-americas-in-1492-book-william-m-denevan-9780299134341","title":"The Native Population of the Americas in 1492","description":"Research by some scholars provides population estimates of the pre-contact Americas as high as 112 million in 1492, while others estimate the population to have been as low as eight million. In any case, the native population declined to less than five million by 1650. In this collection of essays, historians, anthropologists and historical demographers discuss the discrepancies in the population estimates and the evidence for the post-European decline. Woodrow Borah, Angel Rosenblat and William T. Sanders, among others, examine such topics as the Indian slave trade, disease, military action and the disruption of the social systems of the native peoples. Offering varying points of view, the contributions critically analyse major hemispheric and regional data and estimates for pre- and post-European contact.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52327096123665,"sku":"NLS9780299134341","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780299134341.jpg?v=1758060431"},{"product_id":"pre-hispanic-agricultural-fields-in-the-andean-region-part-i-book-william-m-denevan-9781407388533","title":"Pre-Hispanic Agricultural Fields in the Andean Region, Part i","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52434476499217,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52434477121809,"sku":"NLS9781407388533","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781407388533.jpg?v=1759180716"},{"product_id":"pre-hispanic-agricultural-fields-in-the-andean-region-part-ii-book-william-m-denevan-9781407388540","title":"Pre-Hispanic Agricultural Fields in the Andean Region, Part ii","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52434679496977,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52434679988497,"sku":"NLS9781407388540","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781407388540.jpg?v=1759181305"},{"product_id":"hispanic-lands-and-peoples-book-william-m-denevan-9780367012762","title":"Hispanic Lands and Peoples","description":"This anthology focuses on James J.
