The late Gerald Nash, in whose honor the essays were written, made major contributions to the study of modern American and western American history, and his impact on those fields is demonstrated in these essays by several generations of his students and colleagues. Emphasizing social and cultural developments, the essays draw on methodologies and topics from comparative history, environmental history, urban history, and political history. The authors write on subjects ranging from women's rights to urban sprawl, from organized religion to tourism, from mining to American Indian culture. An autobiographical essay by Nash himself situates his life's work in the context of two formative experiences: his intellectual development as a German refugee arriving in New York in the late 1930s and his commitment to the study of the American West when he began graduate school. The contributors include Margaret Connell-Szasz, Arthur R. Gomez, Donald J. Pisani, Marjorie Bell Chambers, Carol Lynn MacGregor, Christopher J. Huggard, Roger W. Lotchin, and Gene M. Gressley, as well as Nash and the volume editors. 607 $aWest (U.S.)$xCivilization$y20th century 607 $aWest (U.S.)$xHistory$y1945- 676 $a978/.033 701 $aNash$b Gerald D$0262043 701 $aEtulain$b Richard W$01810059 701 $aSzasz$b Ferenc Morton$f1940-2010.$059169 712 02$aUniversity of New Mexico.$bUniversity of New Mexico. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955367903321 996 $aThe American West in 2000$94478961 997 $aUNINA
