In the European settlement of the New World, encounter with nature was a drama of success or failure, life or death. As American civilization became established in the nineteenth century and the United States assumed its own cultural voice, the relation between nature and the human being became a theme in American philosophy in ways it had not been in Europe. This book collects essays by leading scholars, both American and European, on the American understanding of nature from Emerson to Dewey and beyond. The volume features essays on Emerson and Thoreau, Royce, Peirce, Wright, James, Holmes,

Among the most important resources for the countries bordering on the North Pacific Ocean, the seven species of Pacific salmon exhibit a wide range of life history patterns, both among and within the species, which involve diverse ways of exploiting freshwater, estuarine and marine habitats. As their enrivonments are increasingly threatened, it is crucial that fisheries biologists understand these adaptations in order to know the limits of the environmental factors within which populations of Pacific salmon can be perpetuated. It is equally important that physiologists take into consideration

In a shrinking and increasingly globalised world, it is vital for any entrepreneur to carefully select the location at which production or other economic activities will occur. This book provides a theoretical and empirical analysis of entrepreneurial behaviour in a spatial context, and links it to important new fields in economics such as endogenous growth theory, the new economic geography and evolutionary theory. Although most of the literature to date has failed to study the geographic element of entrepreneurship, this book redresses the balance by examining the spatial variation in entrep

Non-academic history - ’public history’ - is a complex, dynamic entity which impacts on the popular understanding of the past at all levels. In "Consuming History", Jerome de Groot examines how society consumes history and how a reading of this consumption can help us understand popular culture and issues of representation. This book analyses a wide range of cultural entities - from computer games to daytime television, from blockbuster fictional narratives such as Da Vinci Code to DNA genealogical tools - to analyse how history works in contemporary popular culture.
