ESTU 305 - Environmental History and Ethics

A concern for nature has slowly emerged as human population has grown, understanding of nature has progressed, and the impact of human activity on natural systems has increased. This course reviews how various human activities have historically depended on and interacted with the natural world. It traces how these interactions have resulted in the emergence of what the ecologist Aldo Leopold termed the land ethic. The focus will be on how science and politics have interacted as a land ethic in American environmental history.
