| Description: |
Since the 1700s, the landscape of New England has been transformed. This book examines the changes in the area, from the intensive farming through the 19th century to the reforesting of the 20th century, using the models of the land contained in Harvard University's "Fisher Museum". |
| Synopsis: |
Over the past 300 years New England's landscape has been transformed. The forests were cleared; the land was farmed intensively through the mid-19th century and then was allowed to reforest naturally as agriculture shifted west. Today, in many ways the region is more natural than at any time since the American Revolution. This fascinating natural history is useful background for anyone interested in New England's ecology, wildlife, or landscape. In "New England Forests Through Time" these historical and environmental lessons are told through the world-renowned dioramas in Harvard's Fisher Museum. These remarkable models have introduced New England's landscape to countless visitors and have appeared in many ecology, forestry and natural history texts. This first book based on the dioramas conveys the phenomenal history of the land, the beauty of the models, and new insights into nature. |
