BOOK DISCUSSION -CHANGES IN THE LAND: INDIANS, COLONISTS, AND THE ECOLOGY OF NEW ENGLAND
This landmark environmental history by William Cronon offers an original and profound explanation of the effects European colonists' sense of property and their pursuit of capitalism had upon the ecosystems of New England. Updated with John Demos, this ethno-ecological history provides a brilliant inter-disciplinary interpretation of how land and people influence one another.
Pick up a copy of the book in advance at the AML Circulation Desk!
The Friends of Pine Hawk programs are presented with support from Acton Memorial Library, Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area and the Littleton Historical Society.
