United States West Coast by Adam Sowards Pdf

The most up-to-date and insightful overview available on the environmental history of the West Coast of the United States, a region of extraordinary physical beauty distinguished by its inhabitants' efforts to both sustain and exploit their natural resources. Part of ABC-CLIO's Nature and Human Societies series, United States West Coast: An Environmental History explores the interplay of ecology, economy, and culture throughout the history of the region of North America where the waters drain to the Pacific Ocean. Synthesizing the most recent and insightful studies on the region, United States West Coast portrays environmental change in the far western United States from the emergence of humans in the Pacific Northwest (about 12,000 years ago), to the rise of European colonial trade networks, to the era of industrialization and urbanization, to present day activism and public policy responses to environmental damage. By investigating how humans interact with their nonhuman surroundings across a specific expanse that encompasses all kinds of landscapes, cultures, and commercial enterprises, this insightful volume shows just how interdependent the relationship between people and their environment is.

High-Latitude Rainforests and Associated Ecosystems of the West Coast of the Americas by Richard G. Lawford,Paul Alaback,Eduardo Fuentes Pdf

Regional intercomparisons between ecosystems on different continents can be a powerful tool to better understand the ways in which ecosystems respond to global change. Large areas are often needed to characterize the causal mechanisms governing interactions between ecozones and their environments. Factors such as weather and climate patterns, land-ocean and land-atmosphere interactions all play important roles. As a result of the strong physical north-south symmetry between the western coasts of North and South America, the similarities in climate, coastal oceanography and physiography between these two regions have been extensively documented. High Latitude Rain Forests and Associated Ecosystems of the West Coast of the Americas presents current research on West Coast forest and river ecology, and compares ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest with those of South America.

The West Coast by Niccole Bartley Pdf

The West Coast region is made up of three states, California, Oregon, and Washington, well-known for their natural beauty. Their coastal location invited early settlement, and the region’s natural wonders are arguably matched by its many manmade ones. The Golden Gate Bridge and the streetcars rolling up and down the hills of San Francisco evoke times past, and the Space Needle in Washington is a testimony to human ingenuity. With a true mix of cultures brought to the area by enormous opportunities there, the West Coast has many large cities and a thriving economy. Yet the people in the region value the outdoors and spend time swimming, surfing, biking, hiking, and skiing. Readers will gain a comprehensive view of the region and how geographic features shape human settlement and culture.
