Uses ideas of wildness and rewilding to rethink human relationships with our environments in challenging but affirming ways. Brown's argument is wide- ranging, taking us through such questions as wildness and conservation, wild cities, rewilding language, wildness and food, wild margins, and wildness in the ethics of human-animal relations.
An entire volume dedicated to detailing and preserving the iconic muscle car dealerships of the 1960s and early 1970s, many whose doors are now closed. Text is supported with more than 350 historic photos and illustrations. Muscle car historian Duncan Brown revisits this glorious automotive era when Nickey 427 Camaros and supercharged Dodge Demons by Grand Spaulding Dodge terrorized the streets. Drag sponsored cars from Reynolds Buick, Yeakel Chrysler-Plymouth, and Mel Burns Ford informed buyers that if you came to their dealership, you too could have a screaming fast muscle car just like the ones you saw at the dragstrip. It was these dealerships that created the lasting muscle car legacy through their innovative advertising and over-the-top performance. The majority of these dealerships floundered, unable to reattract the customers they had prior to the muscle car. Thankfully, a volume has been dedicated to preserving the history of those less fortunate and revisiting the past success of these Lost Muscle Car Dealerships .
Placing agriculture at the forefront of environmental issues, this book argues that every major impact the human species has had on the natural environment has been a result of the change from a hunting-and-gathering method of food supply to a farming one. Historical information is presented about ecological, environmental, and demographic changes in human society from the advent of agriculture to today. The rates of deforestation, soil erosion, and water consumption as they relate to agriculture are assessed.
