Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geography of New England The Embargo Act of 1807 and the War of 1812 checked our commerce, and the con sequent lack of manufactured goods led merchants to invest their idle capital in manufacturing. Water rights were secured at the falls of our large rivers, and dams were built. Rows of factories and streets of tenements soon followed. Thus the cities of Lowell, Lawrence, Manchester, Lewiston, and Holyoke sprang into existence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This is a collection of colorful facts, stories and anecdotes, plus a savvy selection of unusual eats, goods, services and events.

Book excerpt: The book that launched environmental history, William Cronon's Changes in the Land, now revised and updated. Winner of the Francis Parkman Prize In this landmark work of environmental history, William Cronon offers an original and profound explanation of the effects European colonists' sense of property and their pursuit of capitalism had upon the ecosystems of New England. Reissued here with an updated afterword by the author and a new preface by the distinguished colonialist John Demos, Changes in the Land, provides a brilliant inter-disciplinary interpretation of how land and people influence one another. With its chilling closing line, "The people of plenty were a people of waste," Cronon's enduring and thought-provoking book is ethno-ecological history at its best.

Download or read book Imagining New England written by Joseph A. Conforti and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-01-14 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Say "New England" and you likely conjure up an image in the mind of your listener: the snowy woods or stone wall of a Robert Frost poem, perhaps, or that quintessential icon of the region--the idyllic white village. Such images remind us that, as Joseph Conforti notes, a region is not just a territory on the ground. It is also a place in the imagination. This ambitious work investigates New England as a cultural invention, tracing the region's changing identity across more than three centuries. Incorporating insights from history, literature, art, material culture, and geography, it shows how succeeding generations of New Englanders created and broadcast a powerful collective identity for their region through narratives about its past. Whether these stories were told in the writings of Frost or Harriet Beecher Stowe, enacted in historical pageants or at colonial revival museums, or conveyed in the pages of a geography textbook or Yankee magazine, New Englanders used them to sustain their identity, revising them as needed to respond to the shifting regional landscape.

Download or read book Early Ethnography in the American Arctic written by Kirsten Hastrup and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a portrait of early ethnographic work in the American Arctic, with a focus on understanding the mutual constitution of the Inuit and their early ethnographers. It draws mainly on a rich repository of written testimonies from the early twentieth century, the ‘great ethnographic period’ when new scholarly interest in the region took off. Supplementing the movements and observations of whalers, traders, and missionaries, the early chroniclers offered new knowledge of Inuit life. Although their descriptions of the Inuit bear the marks of their time, the texts have left a deep mark on later developments and contributed to a long-lasting view of human life in the Arctic. The chapters show the infiltration of lives and landscapes, of thoughts and materials, of Inuit and ethnographers. The book will be relevant to anthropologists as well as historians, geographers, and others with an interest the Arctic region and Indigenous studies.

Download or read book A Landscape History of New England written by Blake A. Harrison and published by Mit Press. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a view of New England's landscapes that goes beyond picture postcard-ready vistas of white-steepled churches, open pastures, and tree-covered mountains. Its chapters describe, for example, the Native American presence in the Maine Woods; offer a history of agriculture told through stone walls, woodlands, and farm buildings; report on the fragile ecology of tourist-friendly Cape Cod beaches; and reveal the ethnic stereotypes informing Colonial Revivalism. Taken together, they offer a wide-ranging history of New England's diverse landscapes, stretching across two centuries. The book shows that all New England landscapes are the products of human agency as well as nature. The authors trace the roles that work, recreation, historic preservation, conservation, and environmentalism have played in shaping the region, and they highlight the diversity of historical actors who have transformed both its meaning and its physical form. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including history, geography, environmental studies, literature, art history, and historic preservation, the book provides fresh perspectives on New England's many landscapes: forests, mountains, farms, coasts, industrial areas, villages, towns, and cities. Illustrated, and with many archival photographs, it offers readers a solid historical foundation for understanding the great variety of places that make up New England.

Book excerpt: American landscapes are some of the best-known images in the world: we recognize Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, the Manhattan skyline, and the streets of San Francisco in a thousand advertisements and TV shows. But how have these places come to be as they are, and why are some places familiar while others are quite unknown? The American Landscape introduces the reader to the changing face of the American environment, tracing the way in which the present array of forests and farms, parks and superhighways, cities and suburbs have come about, and how these changes have been thought about, painted, turned into movie sets, etc.
