Product Description

Review

"Maintains a good balance between environmental history as the history of public policy and environmental history as the story of the physical transformation of natural and social landscapes." - Carl Abbott, Portland State University "With the focus on a specific city bestriding a topographical, climatological, and cultural crossroads - San Antonio - Char Miller begins a unique dialogue in the field of urban-environmental studies." - Michael Logan, Oklahoma State University

Review

“Scholars interested in regional, environmental, and urban history will appreciate the book. So will thoughtful residents of San Antonio, if they hope that their city will fare better in the twenty-first century than it did in the last one.”
--American Historical Review
