About the work
Saving America's Wildlife/Ecology and the American Mind, 1850-1990 (ISBN 9780691006130) is a sweeping examination of how evolving attitudes toward nature shaped conservation policy and public consciousness across more than a century and a half.
Summary
Dunlap traces the arc from early naturalist wonder and utilitarian resource extraction to modern eco-politics, revealing how cultural, scientific, and political currents intertwined to define what Americans believe about wildlife, ecology, and environmental stewardship. He analyzes key moments, institutions, and debates—from preservationist campaigns to the rise of ecological science and the modern conservation movement—demonstrating how shifts in the American mind both reflected and fueled policy changes. The work intertwines historical narrative with cultural analysis, showing how media, education, and public discourse molded collective values regarding nature.
About the author

In brief
