SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"A Landscape Transformed examines the history and industrial ecology of 200 years of ironmaking in northwestern Connecticut's Salisbury district - from its eighteenth-century inception through national prominence in the early Republic to its end in the twentieth century. Robert B. Gordon investigates the cultural context in which people made decisions about their use of technology and the environment, and unravels the environmental consequences of a heavy industry that fully utilized a region's renewable energy resources to process its iron ore.".
Text of Note
"Gordon reveals how the experience in Salisbury shows the powerful role of culture in shaping the way people use their environment. Salisbury's history illustrates that, while understanding natural science is now an essential part of effecting thoughtful management of our environment, it is ultimately values and beliefs that guide decisions about the natural world."--BOOK JACKET.
Text of Note
"Where Salisbury ironmakers dug ore, flushed away mine waste, built furnaces, clear-cut forest, dammed rivers, and piled up slag for over a hundred years, a visitor today finds a landscape of wooded hillsides, neat villages, and valley farms. People in Salisbury made a gradual transition from extractive industry to residential services, keeping local control of their industrial enterprises while striving for economic diversity and independence.".
