Put simply, this is a book about politics, policy, and political will. Kalinowski brilliantly shows that America?s collective will is found in the cultural values enunciated by the Founding Fathers and passed down through history with modifications. It comprises the essential missing ingredient in determining how we currently respond to crises. Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison had distinct ideas concerning the role that Nature might play in the future. Recognizing the origins and impacts of their environmental legacies is the key to interpreting where American environmental politics is today, how we got here, and where we might be headed. 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aClimatology 606 $aEnvironment 606 $aEnvironmental Law 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aPublic Policy 606 $aEnvironmental Policy 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aEnvironmental Law 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aEnvironment. 615 0$aEnvironmental Law. 615 14$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aEnvironmental Policy. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aEnvironmental Law. 676 $a363.70561 700 $aKalinowski$b Franklin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061100 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255324503321 996 $aAmerica's Environmental Legacies$92517521 997 $aUNINA
