NSEE 8010 - History of the Environment

From Izaak Walton to Rachel Carson, the history of the environment is filled with dedicated role models. Environmental education is the outgrowth of dedication, perseverance, literature, painting and politics, but the history of environmental ethics, movements and education is not well understood. Meet people like Leopold, Olson, Comstock, Peterson, and Carson; look at the power of the individual, the organization of groups, and emerging and changing ethics. Course includes some humor and some drama.
