Collecting Nature cover

This non-fiction hardback, "Collecting Nature" from Andrew G Kirk, was published 31st October 2001 by University Press of Kansas.

A major contribution that provides a truly unique angle on environmental history and reveals the massive generational shifts that came about in the transition from conservation to environmentalism - a vital topic that historians have only begun to explore. Mark Harvey, Author of A Symbol of Wilderness: Echo Park and the American Conservation Movement; ""I enjoyed reading this book, got caught up in Kirk's story, and learned a lot about the politics of libraries and the environmental movement's recent history. Original, important, and well written, it should be read by a wide audience."" Anne Hyde, Author of American Vision: Far Western Landscape and National Culture, 1820-1920
