Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Grandest Playground in the World: Delivered Before the Rochester Historical Society, April 15, 1918 Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, But to be young was very Heaven! Few persons know how to be old. In a letter to Julia Ward Howe on her seventieth birthday, May 27, 1889, Oliver Wendell Holmes Wrote: To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old. Another has said: To know how to grow old is the master-work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living. Rossiter Johnson comes to us as the apostle of youth, tower ing in the confidence of boyhood. The creator of Phaeton Rogers can never grow old, no matter what the calendar says. With Monkey Roe 'he still ties kites to the Baptist church steeple, clings to the rope of Red Rover Three with Phaeton, and cheers with delight when Cataract Eight is washed. Here he is, in The Grand-est Playground in the World, filled with joys and bouy ancy. Here, with genuine heart interest, a genial, lovable person ality reveals itself.

Download or read book Down to Earth written by Ted Steinberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-09 with total page 1150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ambitious and provocative text, environmental historian Ted Steinberg offers a sweeping history of our nation--a history that, for the first time, places the environment at the very center of our story. Written with exceptional clarity, Down to Earth re-envisions the story of America "from the ground up." It reveals how focusing on plants, animals, climate, and other ecological factors can radically change the way that we think about the past. Examining such familiar topics as colonization, the industrial revolution, slavery, the Civil War, and the emergence of modern-day consumer culture, Steinberg recounts how the natural world influenced the course of human history. From the colonists' attempts to impose order on the land to modern efforts to sell the wilderness as a consumer good, the author reminds readers that many critical episodes in our history were, in fact, environmental events. He highlights the ways in which we have attempted to reshape and control nature, from Thomas Jefferson's surveying plan, which divided the national landscape into a grid, to the transformation of animals, crops, and even water into commodities. The text is ideal for courses in environmental history, environmental studies, urban studies, economic history, and American history. Passionately argued and thought-provoking, Down to Earth retells our nation's history with nature in the foreground--a perspective that will challenge our view of everything from Jamestown to Disney World.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featured in Wall Street Journal's 2021 Holiday Gift Books Guide 2021 Marfield Prize Finalist Wallace Stegner called national parks "the best idea we ever had." As Americans celebrate the 150th anniversary of Yellowstone, the world's first national park, a question naturally arises: where did the idea for a national park originate? The answer starts with a look at pre-Yellowstone America. With nothing to put up against Europe's cultural pearls--its cathedrals, castles, and museums--Americans came to realize that their plentitude of natural wonders might compensate for the dearth of manmade attractions. That insight guided the great landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted as he organized his thoughts on how to manage the wilderness park centered on Yosemite Valley, a state-owned predecessor to the national park model of Yellowstone. Haunting those thoughts were the cluttered and carnival-like banks of Niagara Falls, which served as an oft-cited example of what should not happen to a spectacular natural phenomenon. Olmsted saw city parks as vital to the pursuit of happiness and wanted them to be established for all to enjoy. When he wrote down his philosophy for managing Yosemite, a new and different kind of park, one that preserves a great natural site in the wilds, he had no idea that he was creating a visionary blueprint for national parks to come. Dennis Drabelle provides a history of the national park concept, adding to our understanding of American environmental thought and linking Olmsted with three of the country's national treasures. Published in time to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Yellowstone National Park on March 1, 2022, and the 200th birthday of Frederick Law Olmsted on April 26, 2022, The Power of Scenery tells the fascinating story of how the national park movement arose, evolved, and has spread around the world.
