{"product_id":"natures-metropolis-chicago-and-the-great-west","title":"Nature's Metropolis: Chicago and the Great West","description":"A Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and Winner of the Bancroft Prize. \"No one has written a better book about a city…Nature's Metropolis is elegant testimony to the proposition that economic, urban, environmental, and business history can be as graceful, powerful, and fascinating as a novel.\" ―Kenneth T. Jackson, Boston Globe\nIn this groundbreaking work, William Cronon gives us an environmental perspective on the history of nineteenth-century America. By exploring the ecological and economic changes that made Chicago America's most dynamic city and the Great West its hinterland, Mr. Cronon opens a new window onto our national past. This is the story of city and country becoming ever more tightly bound in a system so powerful that it reshaped the American landscape and transformed American culture. The world that emerged is our own.\nWinner of the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0393308731\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0393308731.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Cronon, William\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
