Description: The distinguished Berkeley geographer Clarence Glacken produced some of the most important environmental work of the mid-twentieth century, including his landmark Traces on the Rhodian Shore (1967). This meticulously edited volume collects every known Glacken work produced afterward.
Review Quotes:
[S]ensitively edited by S. Ravi Rajan. The core of the collection allows us to see how Glacken interprets the environmental ideas of such canonical figures as Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, Alexander von Humboldt and George Perkins Marsh. His essays still amount to powerful, pithy analyses of their subjects today. Those in search of sharp, well-informed pen portraits that, when taken together, amount to the limning of a portrait of 19th-century environmental thought need look no further.
