William Cronon, Environmental Writer - Coming to Bates
William Cronon's Website
William Cronon has written several essays and books about the natural environment, geograpy and history. He is a profesor at the University of Wisconsis. He will be lecturing here at Bates College on Thursday, November 10th in Chase Hall Lounge. The title of his talk is called, Saving Nature in Time: The Past and the Future of Environmentalism. This pertains to my interest because I am using some of his work on my thesis this year. I am in the process of getting a few of his books, but I am also relying heavily on an essay of his titled, "The Trouble with Wilderness or, Getting Back to the Wrong Nature". It's an interesting read as it questions our perspective of wilderness and why we treat nature the way we do.
