Product Description

Review

"This clearly written, well-argued, and deeply researched book goes well beyond 'smokestacks and progressives' in helping us understand the important environmental issues embedded in the history of the American city." -- Martin Melosi, Journal of American History



"Smokestacks and Progressives should change the way scholars understand the history of environmental activism." -- Adam Rome, Environmental History



"A clearly written and well-documented account." -- Bernard Mergen, American Studies International



"Stradling's... prose is pleasurable to read, his research broadens our grasp of the nation of cities, and the book provides a fascinating study of this neglected corner of urban Progressive reform." -- Barbara Hahn, Ohio Valley History

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for all environmentalists and historians., 17 Aug 1999
By A Customer
The author, David S. Stradling, Ph.D., is on the forefront of today's analysis of environmental history. This work will soon be considered the definitive treatise on the subject. I recommend the text unequivocally.
