1. What really caused the sudden upsurge in concern for preserving America’s environment at the
beginning of the 20th century? To what extent was this concern motivated by nostalgia for an
older America, and to what extent by a desire to preserve nature and natural resources for
future generations?
2. What were the underlying issues in the debate between “rational use” environmentalists and
the more thoroughgoing “preservationists”? how did the rise of modern ecological science tilt
that debate?
