Changes in the Land

Expanding on the theme of environmental history, Changes in the Land delves into the impact that European colonialism had on the ecosystems of New England. William Cronon's groundbreaking work explores the relationship between property ownership, capitalism, and the land, and how they shaped each other. With an updated afterword by the author and a new preface by colonialist John Demos, Changes in the Land remains a thought-provoking and fascinating read even today.
