Jackson, Boston GlobeIn this groundbreaking work, William Cronon gives us an environmental perspective on the history of nineteenth-century America. By exploring the ecological and economic changes that made Chicago America's most dynamic city and the Great West its hinterland, Mr. Cronon opens a new window onto our national past. This is the story of city and country becoming ever more tightly bound in a system so powerful that it reshaped the American landscape and transformed American culture. The world that emerged is our own.Winner of the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539148112160,"sku":"NEW0393308731","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/718jdFKGQuL.jpg?v=1777486217","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/natures-metropolis-chicago-and-the-great-west-0393308731","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
