Publisher's press release and photo of editor laid in. Illustrations. Notes. Index. William "Bill" Cronon (born September 11, 1954 in New Haven, Connecticut) is a noted environmental historian, and the Frederick Jackson Turner and Vilas Research Professor of History, Geography, and Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin Madison. He was president of the American Historical Association (AHA) in 2012. In his book Uncommon Ground: Toward Reinventing Nature (1995), and his essay "The Trouble with Wilderness: Or, Getting Back to the Wrong Nature", published in the New York Times (August 13, 1995), Cronon traced the idea of wilderness throughout American history, claiming that the idea of untouched, pristine wilderness is a fantasy, because all of nature is interconnected.
