A century later-in 1951-and a hundred and fifty miles away, another war began when the U.S. government started setting off nuclear bombs at the Nevada Test Site. It was called a nuclear testing program, but functioned as a war against the land and people of the Great Basin. In this foundational book of landscape theory and environmental thinking, Rebecca Solnit explores our national Eden and Armageddon and offers a pathbreaking history of the west, focusing on the relationship between culture and its implementation as politics. In a new preface, she considers the continuities and changes of these invisible wars in the context of our current climate change crisis, and reveals how the long arm of these histories continue to inspire her writing and hope. 606 $aLandscapes$zWest (U.S.)$xHistory 607 $aYosemite National Park (Calif.) 607 $aWest (U.S.)$xDescription and travel 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLandscapes$xHistory. 676 $a917.8042 700 $aSolnit$b Rebecca$0596398 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453066003321 996 $aSavage dreams$92485982 997 $aUNINA
