Description:
New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 1991. Second Printing. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Octavo; xxiii, 530 pages, clothbacked boards; discrete bookplate. "This is an intoxicating piece of scholarship and enterprise. It is part geography, part economics, part political science, part animal husbandry, but it is really a work of biography -a look at the life of Chicago. At the heart of it is the argument that 'no city played a more important role in shaping the landscape and economy of the mid-continent during the second half of the 19th century' - David Shrieman. It was awarded the 1992 Bancroft Prize for the best work of American history. Prof. Cronon became President of the American Historical Association for 2011-2012. In 2011 he became a thorn in the side of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker for opposing Walker's efforts to dismantle workers' unions. [ CHICAGO BY THE BOOK 101 Publications That Shaped The City and Its Image, 95 ].

Description:
NEW YORK NY: NORTON(W.W.) & CO INC. FINE IN FINE DUST JACKET. PUB 1991. FIRST EDITION. HARDCOVER. WINNER OF THE 1992 BANCROFT PRIZE, THE 1993 GEORGE PERKINS MARSH PRIZE, AND FINALIST FOR THE 1992 PULITZER PRIZE (HISTORY) . BOOK IS FINE WITHOUT ANY MARKS TO THE BINDING OR THE TEXT. D.J. IS FINE AND IS NOT PRICE-CLIPPED. A BEAUTIFUL CLEAN, BRIGHT, UNFADED COPY WITH NO REMAINDER MARK. "Nature's Metropolis" is economics, history, life, business, and national destiny, so brilliantly mingled and united that it is hard t tell what is economics and what is life, where business stops and ecology or national destiny takes over. That is, of course, the way things are; but it takes a master historian-writer to create a tableau so vividly alive, so marvelously interesting" (Robert L. Heilbroner) .
