</b><font face="Times New Roman, Times">In this lecture, drawn from a
forthcoming book of the same title, William Cronon will examine the key
cultural assumptions about humanity and nature that have characterized
modern American environmental thinking, and which have sometimes
undermined the effectiveness of environmentalism as a political, social,
and cultural movement. In his book and lecture, Cronon will discuss
how environmentalism might become more effective if its followers did a
better job of considering nature and culture as a single linked system in
the service of humane values.<br>
