This unique survey of the environmental history of the southern United States explores the ecological, social, and economic interaction between humans and the environment in the South over the last 20,000 years. The melting of the Ice Age glaciers heralded the arrival of the Archaic peoples in the South and the lives of the South''s peoples have long been shaped and challenged by the environment. Conversely, the human impact on the South''s landscape has been dramatic, from the mound building of Native Americans to the construction of cities and the birth of modern industry.Part of ABC-CLIO''s Nature and Human Societies series, Southern United States: An Environmental History explores the historical and ecological dimensions of human interaction with the environment throughout Southern history. Examining diverse issues from the impact of the end of the Ice Age to the consequences of the U.S. space program for Florida''s environment, this invaluable guide synthesizes literature from a wide range of authoritative sources to provide a fascinating guide to the South''s environment.>
