Donald Edward Davis discusses the degradation of the southern Appalachians on a number of levels, from the general effects of settlement and industry to the extinction of the American chestnut due to blight and logging in the early 1900s. This portrait of environmental destruction is echoed by the human struggle to survive in one of our nation's poorest areas. The farming, livestock raising, dam building, and pearl and logging industries that have gradually destroyed this region have also been the livelihood of the Appalachian people. The author explores the sometimes conflicting needs of humans and nature in the mountains while presenting impressive and comprehensive research on the increasingly threatened environment of the southern Appalachians.Table of Contents Cover Download document.write('Save'); Save Frontmatter Download document.write('Save'); Save Contentsp. vii Download document.write('Save'); Save Prefacepp. ix-xiv Download document.write('Save'); Save Acknowledgmentspp. xv-xvi Download document.write('Save'); Save 1.
