Book excerpt: Excerpt from New England's Prospect 1933 "I undertooke this worke... because there hath some relations heretofore past the Presse, which have beene very imperfect; as also because there hath beene many scandalous and false reports past upon the Country, even from the sulphurious breath of every base ballad-monger: wherefore to perfect the one, and take off the other, I have laid down the nature of the Country, without any partiall respect unto it." These remarks from the foreword to William Wood's "New England's Prospect," published in London in 1634, well describe the motives that prompted the preparation of the present volume, in which Wood's title has been revived. "Some relations heretofore past the Presse" concerning contemporary New England have indeed been "imperfect." New England has suffered from "the sulphurious breath" of a modern breed of "ballad-monger." The several contributors to "New England's Prospect - 1933" have attempted to lay "down the nature of the Country, without any partiall respect unto it" - that is, in a detached spirit of scholarly inquiry. They have tried not to advertise New England nor to glorify it, but to see it as it is. Several broad fields of inquiry were outlined covering social, economic, and governmental conditions and activities in New England. Each contributor is a specialist in one of these fields and, in connection with it, was invited to discuss contemporary movements and issues that have appeared to him of the first importance. He was asked to give particular attention to the progress of investigation and to gaps that further investigation should fill. He was urged, so far as pertinent, to consider not only issues regarding which New England presents a united front but also the divergent interests of the several communities that make up the larger whole. Finally he was requested to bear in mind conditions beyond New England's borders that affect the destiny of its people. The book opens with five introductory papers. Dr. Adams interprets the character of the New Englander in the light of history. The editor describes the principal regions into which New England may be split and the landscapes found in each.

Book excerpt: What does it mean to be from somewhere? If most people in the United States are "from some place else" what is an American homeland? In answering these questions, the contributors to Homelands: A Geography of Culture and Place across America offer a geographical vision of territory and the formation of discrete communities in the U.S. today. Homelands discusses groups such as the Yankees in New England, Old Order Amish in Ohio, African Americans in the plantation South, Navajos in the Southwest, Russians in California, and several other peoples and places. Homelands explores the connection of people and place by showing how aspects of several different North American groups found their niche and created a homeland. A collection of fifteen essays, Homelands is an innovative look at geographical concepts in community settings. It is also an exploration of the academic work taking place about homelands and their people, of how factors such as culture, settlement, and cartographic concepts come together in American sociology. There is much not only to study but also to celebrate about American homelands. As the editors state, "Underlying today's pluralistic society are homelands—large and small, strong and weak—that endure in some way. The mosaic of homelands to which people bonded in greater or lesser degrees, affirms in a holistic way America's diversity, its pluralistic society." The authors depict the cultural effects of immigrant settlement. The conviction that people need to participate in the life of the homeland to achieve their own self realization, within the traditions and comforts of that community. Homelands gives us a new map of the United States, a map drawn with people's lives and the land that is their home.

This book was released on 1996-08-29 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Coastal Wilderness to Fruited Plain is an account of the making of a large part of the American landscape following European settlement. Drawing upon land survey records and early travellers' accounts, Dr Whitney reconstructs the 'virgin' forests and grasslands of the north-eastern and central United States during the pre-settlement period. He then documents successively the clearance and fragmentation of the region's woodlands, the harvest of the forest and its game, the ploughing of the prairies, and the draining of wetlands. The degree to which these activities altered the soil, climate, plant and animal communities, and water cycle are evaluated, and the sustainability of present-day ecosystems is brought into question in this account.
