Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of a remarkable property in Vermont, owned by three individuals who shaped the course of American conservation. Beginning with George Perkins Marsh, whose seminal work *Man and Nature* (1864) articulated the interconnectedness of humanity and the natural world, the book explores how this land transformed under his stewardship. The author then examines how Frederick Billings, a fellow Vermonter who purchased the property from Marsh's family, implemented Marsh's principles by transforming the land into a model estate, complete with a meticulously managed farm and forest. Finally, the book delves into the impact of Laurance Rockefeller, a major figure in post-World War II conservation efforts, who continued the legacy of Marsh and Billings by securing the property and creating a National Park to ensure its preservation for future generations. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of conservation philosophies and practices in America, revealing the deep connections between land use, economic development, and the very soul of our nation.
