"Baltensperger's book constitutes the best recent geographical approach to explaining the state's historical development from the frontier era to the 1980s. It deals with landforms, physical geography and human geography.
Subject: History, Cultural/Human Geography, Nature & Environment"

Renewable Energy from Forest Resources in the United States
Barry D. Solomon and Valerie A Luzadis, Editors
Series: Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics, 12
London ; New York : Routledge, 2009
Reviewed in September 2009 CHOICE:
Whether energy from forest resources can sustainably reduce America's carbon footprint without compromising ecosystem health is a question for foresters, engineers, ecologists, economists, and sociologists. Solomon (Michigan Technological Univ.) and Luzadis (State Univ. of New York—ESF) give experts from each of these fields a say in this fascinating and timely addition to the series "Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics." Perspectives from more than 30 academic contributors combine to offer a balanced, holistic, and readable overview of the possibilities and challenges associated with increased use of forest biomass for fuel. Apart from a string of erroneous metric conversions in an early presentation of an economic model, the volume is carefully edited. Discussions of history, economics, ecology, energy assessment, and conversion technologies flow logically. A chapter on biodiversity by three of Solomon's MTU colleagues is particularly illuminating, concluding with the case that the US is—for the first time—discussing the ecological, economic, and social consequences of a major land use change before it happens.
Summing Up: Highly recommended. General readers; upper-division undergraduates through professionals.
