Book Review
BOOK REVIEW EDITOR'S NOTE
EVEN THOUGH I read the reviews several times before they are published, I always find it rewarding to read the book reviews as you see them, in their final ordered version. In the review process, I peruse the books (and occasionally read one) as they come in, yet it's the final reading of the reviews as they go to press that is so instructive about environmental history. What emerges in that final version of collected reviews is an insight into the field as a whole. We owe the reviewers thanks for drawing attention to the critical issues and showing avenues for research. The reviews offer new insight into the human perception and management of nature and wilderness at all levels, highlighting diversity while serving to bring together the community of environmental historians.
