@DavidZwart6 Thank you so much, David! These will be very useful in thinking through the Minnesota program's relationship to region and nation. Really appreciate it!
Overwhelmed. People are going to suffer tonight, and for a long time, as superpowers use their land and lives as chess pieces to advance state power. Imperialism is an old sin with the same old consequences, no matter how much our planet ages.
@Another_Kyle Cronon is so good. An older history of wilderness is Roderick Nash's Wilderness in the American Mind-- it's out-of-date in a lot of ways, but useful in others. Windshield Wilderness by David Louter is a good place to start too!
