from the editor

ON BEHALF OF ALL Environmental History readers, I would like to thank Adam Rome for his superb stewardship of the journal over the past four years. Adam continued the efforts of his predecessor, Hal Rothman, to diversify the journal's geographic and topical range, and he focused on making the journal more accessible, both visually and electronically. He worked with the Forest History Society to redesign the front cover and inside text format that has resulted in one of the more visually attractive journals. Under his leadership, the journal increased its number of illustrations and photographs. He initiated the "Gallery" section, and added more "Reflection" essays. He was always open to new ways of using the journal, as can be seen by the two Anniversary Forum pieces of 2005: "What's Next for Environmental History" (January 2005) and "What Books Should be More Widely Read in Environmental History?" (October 2005). Since 2003, the journal has been available on-line through the History Cooperative.

Because of the long lead time between an article's submission and its publication, Adam's editorial impact no doubt will continue to be visible throughout 2006. All four of this issue's articles, for instance, were originally submitted while Adam was editor, and all display his considerable editorial skills. The articles by Richard Judd ("A 'Wonderfull Order and Ballance': Natural History and the Beginnings of Forest Conservation in America, 1730–1830") and Ben Cohen ("Surveying Nature: Environmental Dimensions of Virginia's First Scientific Survey, 1835–1842") reflect Adam's commitment to research on pre- and early industrial America, a sub-field of U.S. history that environmental historians have long overlooked. Michael Smith's article ("'The Ego Ideal of the Good Camper' and the Nature of Summer Camp") is characteristic of Adam's efforts to foster research that focuses on the intersections between environmental and social-cultural history. And James Boyce's article ("Canine Revolution: The Social and Environmental Impact of the Introduction of the Dog to Tasmania") is indicative of Adam's commitment to finding and publishing the best scholarship on topics outside North America.
