Download or read book FDR and the Environment written by D. Woolner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
