Book Review

The Atlas of US and Canadian Environmental History. Edited by Char Miller. New York, N.Y.: Routledge, 2003. 256 pp. Illustrations, maps, charts, diagrams, index. Cloth $150.00.
Char Miller's Atlas is the most useful resource book that the field of environmental history has yet created. Combining exceptionally vivid maps with relevant visuals, each well-focused essay is a gold mine of information and connections to larger historical ideas. Although the Atlas is not a potential text, it is a volume that each environmental professional and educator should make certain is contained in his or her library. This is the environmental history book that every Environmental Studies program should have in its library or available to its students in the program's library. It will mark an excellent starting point for student research projects.	1
The coverage of topics in the Atlas is exceptional. Miller must be commended for remaining true to the title and offering a holistic coverage of both U.S. and Canadian environmental history. Although this effort becomes cumbersome at times (a chapter on conservation in the United States may be followed by a chapter on conservation in Canada), the comparative chapters offer in-depth discussion of trans-border issues that demonstrate the Atlas's commitment to the consideration of the North American continent. Many of the topics covered in the volume are familiar ones that have been covered in other volumes; these border topics, though, are original to the field.	. . .
