1Tangled RootsThe Appalachian Trail and American Environmental PoliticsSarah MittlefehldtForeword by William CrononThe Appalachian Trail, a thin ribbon of wilderness running through the denselypopulated eastern United States, offers a refuge from modern society and a place apartfrom human ideas and institutions. But as environmental historian and thru-hikerSarah Mittlefehldt argues, the trail is also a conduit for community engagement anda model for public-private cooperation and environmental stewardship.In Tangled Roots, Mittlefehldt tells the story of the trail’s creation. The project was oneof the first in which the National Park Service attempted to create public wildernessspace within heavily populated, privately owned lands. Originally a regional grassrootsendeavor, under federal leadership the trail project retained unprecedentedlevels of community involvement. As citizen volunteers came together and enteredinto conversation with the National Parks Service, boundaries between “local” and“nonlocal,” “public” and “private,” “amateur” and “expert” frequently broke down.Today, as Mittlefehldt tells us, the Appalachian Trail remains an unusual hybrid ofpublic and private efforts and an inspiring success story of environmental protection.Sarah Mittlefehldt is assistant professor of environmental studies at Green MountainCollege.“Tangled Roots makes a contributionto the literature ofenvironmental conservationhistory that is as unusual asthe trail itself. In a gentle,approachable, and engagingstyle it tells the historyof one of the most importantand beloved conservationinitiatives in American historyand at the same timecomments on a wide range ofsubjects in ways that are bothinsightful and fresh.”—JamesFeldman, author of A StoriedWilderness“Tangled Roots will find readership among environmental and forest historians andwill end up on the Christmas lists and in the backpacks of the trail’s many fans.

2Pests in the CityFlies, Bedbugs, Cockroaches, and RatsDawn Day BiehlerForeword by William CrononFrom tenements to alleyways to latrines, twentieth-century American cities createdspaces where pests flourished and people struggled for healthy living conditions. InPests in the City, Dawn Day Biehler argues that the urban ecologies that supportedpests were shaped not only by the physical features of cities but also by social inequalities,housing policies, and ideas about domestic space.Community activists and social reformers strived to control pests in cities such asWashington, D.C., Chicago, Baltimore, New York, and Milwaukee, but such effortsfell short when authorities blamed families and neighborhood culture for infestationsrather than attacking racial segregation or urban disinvestment. Pest-controlcampaigns tended to target public or private spaces, but pests and pesticides movedreadily across the porous boundaries between homes and neighborhoods.This story of flies, bedbugs, cockroaches, and rats reveals that such creatures thrivedon lax code enforcement and the marginalization of the poor, immigrants, and peopleof color. As Biehler shows, urban pests have remained a persistent problem at theintersection of public health, politics, and environmental justice, even amid promisesof modernity and sustainability in American cities.Weyerhaeuser Environmental BooksEnvironmental History /Urban StudiesOctober336 pp., 30 illus., 4 maps, notes, bibliog.,index, 6 × 9 in.$34.95 HC / £19.99isBN 978-0-295-99301-0EB ISBN 978-0-295-80486-6Dawn Day Biehler is assistant professor of geography and environmental studies at theUniversity of Maryland, Baltimore County.

Its originaland compelling blend of themes and questions makes it likely to join environmentalhistory’s most innovative ranks.”—Chris Sellers, Stony Brook University“The environmental history of people and animals has for too long focused on charismaticmegafauna—wolves, grizzlies, cougars—when in fact the day-to-day livesof a great many people are much more intimately involved with less fearsome butrather more troublesome creatures. In this fascinating and important book, DawnDay Biehler brilliantly demonstrates how much we can learn about environmentalpolitics and social justice by studying the pests who share our urban homes withus.”—William CrononUniversity of wAshington Press Fall 2013 www.washington.edu/uwpress

3Loving Nature,Fearing the StateBrian Allen DrakeForeword by William CrononEnvironmentalism and Antigovernment Politics before ReaganA “conservative environmental tradition” in America may sound like a contradictionin terms, but as Brian Allen Drake shows in Loving Nature, Fearing the State, rightleaningpoliticians and activists have shaped American environmental consciousnesssince the environmental movement’s beginnings. In this wide-ranging history, Drakeexplores the tensions inherent in balancing an ideology dedicated to limiting thepower of government with a commitment to protecting treasured landscapes andecological health.Drake argues that “antistatist” beliefs—an individualist ethos and a mistrust of government—havecolored the American passion for wilderness but also complicatedenvironmental protection efforts. While most of the successes of the environmentalmovement have been enacted through the federal government, conservative andlibertarian critiques of big-government environmentalism have increasingly resistedthe idea that strengthening state power is the only way to protect the environment.Loving Nature, Fearing the State traces the influence of conservative environmentalthought through the stories of important actors in postwar environmental movements.The book follows small-government pioneer Barry Goldwater as he tries toestablish federally protected wilderness lands inthe Arizona desert and shows how Goldwater’sintellectual and ideological struggles with thiseffort provide a framework for understandingthe dilemmas of an antistatist environmentalism.It links antigovernment activism with environmentalpublic-health concerns by analyzingopposition to government fluoridation campaignsand investigates environmentalism from a libertarianeconomic perspective through the work offree-market environmentalists. Drake also seesin the work of Edward Abbey an argument that reverence for nature can form thebasis for resistance to state power. Each chapter highlights debates and tensions thatare important to understanding environmental history and the challenges that faceenvironmental protection efforts today.Brian Allen Drake is a lecturer at the University of Georgia.Weyerhaeuser Environmental BooksEnvironmental History /American HistoryOctober292 pp., notes, bibliog., index, 6 × 9 in.$34.95 HC / £23.99isBN 978-0-295-99299-0EB ISBN 978-0-295-80485-9Also of Interest“Loving Nature, Fearing the State fills a void: it shows that the relation betweenconservatism as a political ideology and the rise of modern environmentalism ismuch more complex than is usually acknowledged. The murky intersection ofconcern for the natural world and distrust for authority makes for an intriguingstory, and the book is full of memorable anecdotes that spice up the narrative.”—J. Brooks Flippen, author of Conservative Conservationist“Since 1980, it has sometimes seemed as if environmentalism and liberalism weresynonymous, tempting Americans to forget the contributions of conservatives toenvironmentalist thought during earlier decades when the movement was firstemerging. In this valuable book, Brian Allen Drake offers a salutary reminder ofa time when both liberals and conservatives saw the environment as an arena inwhich their core political values could find favorable expression.”—William CrononMakingMountains$24.95s PB978-0-295-99014-9Car Country$40.00s HB978-0-295-99215-0www.washington.edu/uwpress Fall 2013 University of wAshington Press

4Whales and NationsEnvironmental Diplomacy on the High SeasKurkpatrick DorseyForeword by William CrononBefore commercial whaling was outlawed in the 1980s, diplomats, scientists, bureaucrats,environmentalists, and sometimes even whalers themselves had attemptedto create an international regulatory framework that would allow for a sustainablewhaling industry. In Whales and Nations, Kurkpatrick Dorsey tells the story of theinternational negotiation, scientific research, and industrial development behindthese efforts —and their ultimate failure.Whales and Nations begins in the early twentieth century, when new technologyrevived the fading whaling industry and made whale hunting possible on an unprecedentedscale. By the 1920s, declining whale populations prompted efforts to develop“rational”—what today would be called sustainable—whaling practices. But eventhough almost everyone involved with commercial whaling knew that the industrywas on an unsustainable path, Dorsey argues that powerful economic, political, andscientific forces made failure nearly inevitable.Based on a deep engagement with diplomatic history, Whales and Nations providesa unique perspective on the challenges facing international conservation projects.This history has profound implications for today’s pressing questions of global environmentalcooperation and sustainability.Weyerhaeuser Environmental BooksEnvironmental HistoryJanuary372 pp., 25 illus., appendix, notes, bibliog.,index, 6 × 9 in.$34.95s HC / £23.99isBN 978-0-295-99311-9EB ISBN 978-0-295-80494-1Click here towatch a trailerfor this book!Also of InterestShaping theShoreline$24.95s PB978-0-295-99139-9Seeking Refuge$24.95s PB978-0-295-99211-2Kurkpatrick Dorsey is associate professor of history at the University of New Hampshire.“This important book is essential for understanding the formation of the first globalenvironmental agreements. It is valuable both as an argument about the failuresof sustainability and as an authoritative guide to the people and issues behind therise of global environmental awareness in the twentieth century.”—Jacob DarwinHamblin, author of Arming Mother Nature“Whales and Nations offers a fresh and timely look at the intersection of the twentieth-centurywhaling industry, international diplomacy, and science and is animportant contribution to a topic that loomed very large in the environmentalmovement at a critical point in its development. It’s also a great read.”—HelenM. Rozwadowski, University of Connecticut, Avery Point“The international politicsof whaling underwent seismicshifts over the courseof the twentieth century,reflecting complex changesin attitudes toward marinemammals and environmentalprotection worldwide.This important story hasnever been better told thanin Kurkpatrick Dorsey’snew book, which is likelyto be the standard work onthis subject for a long timeto come.”—William CrononUniversity of wAshington Press Fall 2013 www.washington.edu/uwpress

7Encounters inAvalanche CountryDiana L. Di StefanoA History of Survival in the Mountain West, 1820–1920Every winter, early settlers of the U.S. and Canadian Mountain West could expect tolose dozens of lives to deadly avalanches. This constant threat to trappers, miners,railway workers, and their families forced individuals and communities to developknowledge, share strategies, and band together as they tried to survive the extremeconditions of “avalanche country.” The result of this convergence, author Diana L. DiStefano argues, was a complex network of formal and informal cooperation that useddisaster preparedness to engage legal action and instill a sense of regional identityamong the many lives affected by these natural disasters.Encounters in Avalanche Country tells the story of mountain communities’ responsesto disaster over a century of social change and rapid industrialization. As mining andrailway companies triggered new kinds of disasters, ideas about environmental riskand responsibility were increasingly negotiated by mountain laborers, at elite levelsamong corporations, and in socially charged civil suits. Disasters became a dangerouscrossroads where social spaces and ecological realities collided, illustrating howindividuals, groups, communities, and corporate entities were tangled in this web ofconnections between people and their environment.Written in a lively and engaging narrative style, Encounters in Avalanche Countryuncovers authentic stories of survival struggles, frightening avalanches, and howlocal knowledge challenged legal traditions that defined avalanches as Acts of God.Combining disaster, mining, railroad, and ski histories with the theme of severewinter weather, it provides a new and fascinating perspective on the settlement ofthe Mountain West.Diana L.

8The Meek CutoffBrOOks Geer RagenTracing the Oregon Trail’s Lost Wagon Train of 1845In 1845, an estimated 2,500 emigrants left Independence and St. Joseph, Missouri,for the Willamette Valley in what was soon to become the Oregon Territory. It wasgeneral knowledge that the route of the Oregon Trail through the Blue Mountainsand down the Columbia River to The Dalles was grueling and dangerous. About1,200 men, women, and children in over two hundred wagons accepted fur trapperand guide Stephen Meek’s offer to lead them on a shortcut across the trackless highdesert of eastern Oregon.Western HistoryJuly176 pp., 177 illus., 167 in color, 44 maps,bibliog., index, 11 × 9 in.$40.00 HC / £27.99isBN 978-0-295-99309-6Also of InterestLandscapesof Promise$19.95 PB978-0-295-97901-4Those who followed Meek experienced a terrible ordeal when his memory of the terrainapparently failed. Lost for weeks with little or no water and a shortage of food,the Overlanders encountereddeep dust, alkali lakes, andsteep, rocky terrain. Manybecame ill, and some diedin the forty days it took totravel from the Snake Riverin present-day Idaho to theDeschutes River near Bend,Oregon. Stories persist thatchildren in the group foundgold nuggets in a small, drycreek bed along the way.From 2006 to 2011, Brooks GeerRagen and a team of specialistsin history, geology, globalpositioning, metal detecting,and aerial photography spentweeks every spring and summertracing the Meek Cutoff.They located wagon ruts, gravesites, and other physical evidence from the most difficultparts of the trail, from Vale, Oregon, to the upper reaches of the Crooked Riverand to a location near Redmond where a section of the train reached the Deschutes.The Meek Cutoff moves readers back and forth in time, using surviving journals frommembers of the 1845 party, detailed day-to-day maps, aerial photographs, and descriptionsof the modern-dayexploration to documentan extraordinary story ofthe Oregon Trail.Brooks Geer Ragen is chairmanof the board of directorsof Manzanita Capital.He lives in Seattle.University of wAshington Press Fall 2013 www.washington.edu/uwpress

Traveled about 11 miles in a northwesterly direction, striking asmart sized creek running in the same direction and campingupon it. This creek has no brush upon its banks, which wasthe reason for its being overlooked when they searched thecountry for water. It is evident that Meek’s knowledge ofthe country has rather failed him here, since it is actually ashorter drive from the spring we left on the 10th inst. to thehead of the branch we camped upon yesterday than it is fromthe 10th to the 11th, and apparently a better road. Had we takenthat road we would be advanced now at least 80 miles on ourjourney, besides being saved the trying suspense of remainingin a miserable encampment several days, with no prospect ofwater ahead for 40 or 50 miles.James Field, September 18, 1845

16Puer TeaJinghong ZhangAncient Caravans and Urban ChicPuer tea has been grown for centuries in the “Six Great Tea Mountains” of YunnanProvince. In imperial China it was a prized commodity, traded to Tibet by horseor mule caravan via the so-called Tea Horse Road and presented as tribute to theemperor in Beijing. In the 1990s, as the tea’s noble lineage and unique process ofaging and fermentation were rediscovered, it achieved cult status both in China andinternationally. The tea became a favorite among urban connoisseurs who analyzedit in language comparable to that used in wine appreciation and paid skyrocketingprices for it. In 2007, however, local events and the international economic crisiscaused the Puer market to collapse.Puer Tea traces the rise, climax, and crash of this cultural phenomenon. With ethnographicattention to the spaces in which Puer tea is harvested, processed, traded,and consumed, anthropologist Jinghong Zhang constructs a vivid account of thetransformation of a cottage handicraft into a major industry—with predictable risksand unexpected consequences.Jinghong Zhang is a lecturer at Yunnan University.Culture, Place, and Nature /A China Program BookAnthropology / AsianStudies / Food StudiesNovember272 pp., 47 illus., 5 maps, notes, appendices,glossary, bibliog., index, 6 × 9 in.$75.00x HC / £58.00isBN 978-0-295-99322-5$30.00s PB / £20.99isBN 978-0-295-99323-2EB ISBN 978-0-295-80487-3“This is an engrossing study of the Puer tea industry and the many cultural spheresthat surround it.

17The Story of ChigusaA Japanese Tea Jar’s 700-Year HistoryLouise AlliSOn Cort,Andrew M. Watsky, et al.This innovative book narrates the history of a single object—a tea-leaf storage jar createdin southern China during the thirteenth or fourteenth centuries—and describeshow its role changed after it was imported to Japan and passed from owner to ownerthere. In Japan, where the jar was in constant use for more than seven hundred years,it was transformed from a humble vessel into a celebrated object used in chanoyu(often translated in English as tea ceremony), renowned for its aesthetic and functionalqualities, and awarded the name Chigusa.Few extant tea utensils possess the quantity and quality of the accessories associatedwith Chigusa, material that enables modern scholars and tea aficionados to trace thejar’s evolving history of ownership and appreciation. Tea diaries indicate that thelavish accessories—the silk net bag, cover, and cords—that still accompany the jarwere prepared in the early sixteenth century by its first recorded owner.Louise Allison Cort is curator of ceramics, Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M.

18The World of a Tiny InsectA Memoir of the Taiping Rebellion and Its AftermathZhang DayeTranslated with an introduction byXiaofei Tian“From the cry of a tiny insect, one can hear the sound of a vast world. . . .”So begins Zhang Daye’s preface to The World of a Tiny Insect, his haunting memoirof war and its aftermath. In 1861, when China’s devastating Taiping rebellionbegan, Zhang was seven years old. The Taiping rebel army occupied Shaoxing, hishometown, and for the next two years, he hid from Taiping soldiers, local bandits,and imperial troops and witnessed gruesome scenes of violence and death. He lostfriends and family and nearly died himself from starvation, illness, and encounterswith soldiers on rampages.Written thirty years later, The World of a Tiny Insect gives voice to this history. A rarepremodern Chinese literary work depicting a child’s perspective, Zhang’s sophisticatedtext captures the macabre images, paranoia, and emotional excess that definedhis wartime experience and echoed throughout his adult life. The structure, content,and imagery of The World of a Tiny Insect reveal a carefully crafted, fragmented narrativethat skips in time and probes the relationship between trauma and memory,revealing both history and its psychic impact. Xiaofei Tian’s annotated translationincludes an introduction that situates The World of a Tiny Insect in Chinese history andliterature and explores the relevance of the book to the workings of traumatic memory.Asian Studies / MemoirJanuary224 pp., 1 map, appendices, notes,index, 6 × 9 in.$75.00x HC / £58.00isBN 978-0-295-99317-1$30.00s PB / £20.99isBN 978-0-295-99318-8EB ISBN 978-0-295-80491-0Zhang Daye (b. 1854) is known only as the author of The World of a Tiny Insect.

22Deco JapanShaping Art and Culture 1920–1945Edited byKendall H. BrownDeco Japan introduces Japanese art in the art deco style through nearly two hundredworks of metal, ceramics, lacquer, glass, furniture, textiles, painting, prints, andgraphic design. While exhibiting spectacular craftsmanship and sophisticated design,these works convey the complex social and cultural tensions in Japan during theTaisho and early Showa epochs (1912–1945). Including essays by an international teamof a dozen scholars, this book investigates how Japanese deco signaled the nation’sunique history and cosmopolitanism.The era’s diverse vitality is expressed in its most ubiquitous subjects—the moga,or modern girl, the emblem of contemporary urban chic, and nationalist iconsincluding dragons, phoenixes, and heavenly lions.

25Writing in TonguesTranslating Yiddish in the Twentieth CenturyAnita NorichWriting in Tongues examines the complexities of translating Yiddish literature at atime when the Yiddish language is in decline. After the Holocaust, Soviet repression,and American assimilation, the survival of traditional Yiddish literature depends ontranslation, yet a few Yiddish classics have been translated repeatedly while manyothers have been ignored. Anita Norich traces historical and aesthetic shifts throughversions of these canonical texts, and she argues that these works and their translationsform an enlightening conversation about Jewish history and identity.Anita Norich is professor of English and Judaic studies at the University of Michigan.“Writing in Tongues is sophisticated yet wholly accessible, completely engaging, andbeautifully written. It makes particularly adept use of witty (and often hilarious)epigraphs, personal stories, and moving reflections on what it means to write in aminority language.” —Barbara Henry, University of Washington“Norich tells a compelling, moving, and intriguing story.

Adhering to Dogme’s cinematic purity—noartificial lighting, no superficial action, no credit for the director, and only handheldcameras for equipment—Festen was a commercial and critical success, winning theJury Prize at Cannes in 1998 and garnering worldwide attention.The film is set at the sixtieth birthday party of Helge, the wealthy patriarch of a largeDanish family. The birthday festivities take a turn when Helge’s son Christian raisesa toast and denounces Helge for having raped and abused him as a child, along withhis twin sister, who recently committed suicide. The film explores the escalating consequencesof Christian’s announcement, from the stunned dinner party’s collectivedenial, to violence, to an unexpected catharsis.C.

31Robert DavidsonAbstract ImpulseBarbara Brotherton,Sheila Farr, andJohn HaworthRobert Davidson has been a pivotal figure in the Northwest Coast Native art renaissancesince he erected the first totem pole in nearly a century in his ancestral Massetvillage in 1969. For over forty years he has absorbed the bedrock art traditions ofHaida art and craft, working in the ancient forms of his grandfather, the influentialHaida artist Charles Edensaw. Davidson has taken new directions within the highlydisciplined structure of the old Northwest Coast models—in wood sculpture, ceremonialarts, jewelry, and prints. Less known are his recent forays into abstraction,explored in boldly minimalist easel paintings, graphic work, and sculpture. Paredto essential lines, elemental shapes, and bold colors, these startlingly modern worksinsinuate themselves into a lifetime’s body of work which has usually been labeledas “traditional.” Robert Davidson features paintings, sculptures, and prints createdsince 2005, as well as key images from earlier in his career, that show Davidson’simpulse toward an elemental language of form.These essays investigate the complex fusion of sources Davidson draws upon, placingthe work in the larger context of contemporary art, and examines the ways in whichthe work mediates the dualities of tradition and innovation, the spheres of the communityand the gallery, and the personal and the collective.Distributed for Seattle Art MuseumNative American ArtNovember104 pp., 60 color illus., bibliog., 9 × 11 in.$40.00 PB / £25.99isBN 9780932216694www.washington.edu/uwpress Fall 2013 University of wAshington Press

32Edward HopperPatricia A. JunkerWomenEdward Hopper: Women focuses on a small interconnected group of paintings thatset the course of the artist’s successful career as a painter of a changing Americanscene. At the center of the group is Chop Suey (1929), which is among the very first ofHopper’s paintings of the modern urban scene.Hopper revealed himself as an uncommonly close observer of people and places whenin the 1920s he began to study the interiors of New York restaurants and focused onthe young women clientele that typically frequented them. It was with Chop Sueyand related paintings that Hopper found his most potent, enigmatic subject in theAmerican city—the modern American woman. What Hopper created in these earlyNew York paintings was a look at a social dynamic that was reshaping the urbanscene—the influx of young women into the modern work-a-day world.Patricia A.

34Resplendent Dress fromSoutheastern EuropeA History in LayersEdited by Elizabeth Wayland Barber and Barbara Belle SloanIn the past, girls from rural southeastern Europe spent their childhoods weaving,sewing, and embroidering festive dress so that upon reaching puberty they could jointhe Sunday afternoon village dances garbed in resplendent attire. These extremelycolorful and intensely worked garments were often adorned with embroidery, lace,metallic threads, coins, sequins, beads, and, perhaps most importantly, fringe, asymbolic marker of fertility. Over time new forms of dress were added, so that by1900, a southeastern European village woman’s apparel consisted of millennia oflayered history. Even today this dress continues to be worn on festive occasions andby older people in rural areas.Distributed for Fowler Museum at UCLATextiles / European ArtJuly276 pp., 315 illus., 285 in color, notes, bibliog.,index, 9 × 12 in$60.00s HC / £39.00isBN 978-0-9847550-4-2$35.00 PB / £22.99isBN 978-0-9847550-3-5Lavishly illustrated, Resplendent Dress from Southeastern Europe features fifty stunningnineteenth- and twentieth-century ensembles from Macedonia, Croatia, Albania,Montenegro, and neighboring countries, plus one hundred individual items,including aprons, vests, jackets, and robes.

Whether temporary or permanent,guerrilla or sanctioned, object or action, such works invite us to imagine alternativeways of seeing and being while opening up new possibilities for individual andcollective consciousness. When we enter its domain, public space becomes a siteof resistance, a stage on which to enact experimental scenarios, and a catalyst foraction—a place of both art and life.Distributed for ISC PressArtJuly288 pp., 224 illus., 213 in color, notes,6.5 × 9.25 in.$29.95 PB / £18.99isBN 978-0-295-99339-3Glenn Harper and Twylene Moyer are the editors of four previous volumes in thePerspectives on Contemporary Sculpture series.University of wAshington Press Fall 2013 www.washington.edu/uwpress
