Thomas Andrews offers a meditation on the environmental and historical pressures that
have shaped and reshaped one small stretch of North America, from the last ice age
to the advent of the Anthropocene and the latest controversies over climate change.
Large-scale historical approaches continue to make monumental contributions to our
understanding of the past, Andrews writes. But they are incapable of revealing everything
we need to know about the interconnected workings of nature and human history. Alongside
native peoples, miners, homesteaders, tourists, and conservationists, Andrews considers
elk, willows, gold, mountain pine beetles, and the Colorado River as vital historical
subjects. Integrating evidence from several historical fields with insights from ecology,
archaeology, geology, and wildlife biology, this work simultaneously invites scientists
to take history seriously and prevails upon historians to give other ways of knowing
the past the attention they deserve
