Seller's Description:
New in new dust jacket. Glued binding. 304 p. Contains: Illustrations. Audience: General/trade. The author opens a new window to view the nature or early American development and environmentalism prior to the era of Thoreau. John Barram was the greatest collecting botanist of his day credited with introducing a quarter of all the plants from the new World to Europe during the colonial period. He was also a disowned Quaker, and a central character in Crevecoeur's "Letters from an American Farmer". His son Wiiliam was an important painter in his own surrealist style, an author of America's first significant book of natural history (one which inspired Wordsworth and Coleridge, Brown, Cooper, Emerson and Thoreau). Using these men Slaughter explores American attitudes toward science, religion, nature, commerce, parenthood, race, gender, and portrays the two as philosophical innovators in their environmental beliefs.
