註釋In this fascinating history of California's early scientific community, Michael L. Smith looks at the careers of such earth and life scientists as john Muir, George Davidson, David Starr, and Alice Eastwood who came to California in the nineteenth century. Smith examines the relation of these scientists to the people and terrain of their state, shows how their professional identity differed from that of scientists in the East, and traces their crucial role in the formation of American environmentalism.
