Book Review

Public History and the Environment. Edited by Martin V. Melosi and Philip V. Scarpino. Malabar, Fla.: Krieger Publishing Co., 2004. xiv + 291 pp. Illustrations, maps, bibliography, index. Cloth $38.50.

The aim of this diverse collection of fifteen essays is for the authors to "examine the interplay between public and environmental history through the lens of their own professional experiences" (p. vii). Most of the authors appear to be public historians rather than environmental, and the main audience also appears to be public historians. That said, there ought to be much here to interest both public and environmental historians. The chapters are organized into six sections: Landscape; Cultural Resources Management; Litigation Support and Environmental Remediation; Museums, Media, and Historical Societies; Policy Analysis; and Environment at the Grassroots. These represent different strands, opportunities and approaches in public history, each with potentially strong environmental history components.
