| Following the lead of Andrew Hurley, who edited a collection of essays on St. Louis' environmental history (Missouri Historical Society, 1997), Joel Tarr has gathered the work of a number of fine historians who have studied Pittsburgh's environment. Ostensibly the result of a conference held in Pittsburgh in 2000, this collection is really the result of extensive research on the city's environment conducted over two decades, much of it under the guidance and support of Tarr himself. |
