Dreamers and Defenders by Douglas H Strong
Relates the triumphs and defeats of twelve environmentalists from Henry David Thoreau to Barry Commoner. Starting with Thoreau, Frederick Law Olmsted, and George Perkins Marsh, this book shows that conservation enjoyed the support of a few writers and scientists even in the heyday of land development in the mid-nineteenth century.
Douglas H. Strong, a professor of history at San Diego State University, is the author of Tahoe: An Environmental History (Nebraska).
