Book Review

The American Wilderness: Reflections on Nature Protection in the United States. By Thomas R. Vale. Charlottesville, Va.: University of Virginia Press, 2005. 292 pp. Illustrations, maps, figures, bibliography, index. $45.00.

Exploring the evolution of ideas and policies related to wilderness and other natural areas in the United States has formed a central theme in environmental history since its emergence as a self-conscious discipline in the 1960s and 1970s. In American Wilderness, Thomas R. Vale contributes to this venerable tradition, though more from the perspective of a geographer with a keen interest in place than a historian who has discovered a new cache of untapped sources or a compelling new story to relate.
