Laura Martin, PhD \u201915<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An environmental historian on the faculty at Williams College, Martin devotes this release<\/a> from Harvard University Press to a seemingly paradoxical pursuit: ecological restoration, the attempt to design natural spaces in order to repair the damage done by humans. She explores the history, science, and philosophy of this billion-dollar field\u2014in which governments, nonprofits, companies, and others build wetlands, remove invasive species, reintroduce native ones, and more. As bestselling author Elizabeth Kolbert (The Sixth Extinction<\/em>) says in a blurb: \u201cCan we repair the ecological damage that we\u2019ve done? As Laura Martin observes, no question today could be more pressing, or more uncertain. Wild by Design<\/em> is a fascinating book\u2014far-reaching, deeply researched, and probing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
