Description:

When one thinks of the New Deal era, the issue of the environment does not immediately come to mind. Yet New Deal policies had a huge impact on environmental thinking, defining a new role for the federal government in the scientific management of the natural environment.

Synopsis:

This book demonstrates that there is much about the New Deal that can be characterized as environmental, once one substitutes the word 'environmental' for 'conservation'. Indeed, the scholarship that is contained within this extraordinary book will help correct the widely held view that the New Deal is virtually a blank space in the history of modern environmentalism. In fact, the New Deal carried forward and greatly extended the work of the Progressive Conservation Era, and in many ways helped establish the foundation for the modern environmental movement.
