Recenzii
"Today the Monterey Bay Aquarium publicly embraces both fish and tourism within the confines of an old cannery. The two histories have co-existed for years, and they spawned a diverse and divided society. Therein lies Connie Chiang's fascinating and revealing story of the people of Monterey and the sea that gave them life." Richard White, Stanford UniversityA compelling narrative that is, at once, a social history of Monterey and an environmental history of the region that begins at the turn of the century and ends in the present day. Carol McKibben, Director, Seaside History Project and author of Beyond Cannery Row Shaping the Shoreline brilliantly explores--and explodes--the dualities that have long defined not only Monterey but also American thinking about the natural world: work vs. play, white vs. non-white, tourism vs. industry, nature as spectacle vs. nature as worksite." Karl Jacoby, Brown University"For two decades, scholars have been calling for environmental histories that pay as much attention to changes in human social relationships as to changes in the natural world. Shaping the Shoreline brilliantly demonstrates the value of such an approach by exploring with great subtlety how the curiously intermingled worlds of commercial fishing and elite tourism created in Monterey one of the most celebrated and sought-after communities on the coast of California." William Cronon, University of Wisconsin
