Curt Meine’s Essay in New Book on Ecological Change

September 30th, 2008

The University of Chicago Press has published a new volume entitled The Vanishing Present: Wisconsin’s Changing Lands, Waters, and Wildlife, edited by Donald M. Waller and Thomas P. Rooney. With its rich legacy of research in the environmental sciences, Wisconsin provides a unique laboratory for understanding in detail the phenomena of historical ecological change. The volume brings together experts from a wide range of disciplines to examine changes in the state’s flora, fauna, waters, and landscapes. Meine’s essay, “The View from Man Mound,” places the theme of ecological change in the broad context of post-glacial history, with special emphasis on the role on Native Americans over ten millennia and the revolutionary changes that came with the imposition of the public land survey in the mid-1800s.
