- Description
- In this publication the author locates the origins of modern American environmentalism in twentieth-century adaptations of Thomas Malthus’s concerns about population growth. Weaving together the international and the domestic, Robertson charts the explosion of Malthusian thinking in the United States from World War I to 1970, then traces the decline in concern beginning in the mid-1970s. In addition this book sheds new light on postwar American life: the rise of consumption, the growth of the federal government, urban and suburban problems, the civil rights and women’s movements, the role of scientists in a democracy, new attitudes about sex and sexuality, and the emergence of the ‘New Right’.
