Hou Shen, The City Natural: Garden and Forest Magazine and the Rise of American Environmentalism，University of Pittsburgh Press, 2013 (《城市自然化：〈园与森林〉杂志与美国环保主义的兴起，匹兹堡大学出版社城市环境史系列，2013）侯深 著
本书综合探讨了1888至1897年美国哈佛大学植物学家查尔斯·萨金特与纽约报人威廉姆·斯泰尔斯主编的《园与森林》杂志，在19世纪后期美国环保意识兴起和发展过程中的重要地位和深远影响，认为其所倡导的“城市自然化”理念有力地推动的美国社会的文明进程。此项研究力图突破以往学界对19世纪晚期环保主义所作的两极化（自然保护vs资源保护）描述，将城市纳入该时期环保主义研究的版图，以揭示美国环保主义与城市息息相关的复杂历史根源。
This book is a comprehensive study of an American weekly magazine entitled Garden and Forest (published in1888-1897). Edited by Charles S. Sargent—a Harvard botanist—and William A. Stiles—a New York journalist—this magazine served as a collective voice for various environmental concerns and issues during the early period of the conservation movement. It promoted a “city natural” ideal that tried to civilize the nation by creating a more harmonious fit of cities within their natural habitat. While promoting the application of professional knowledge and training to manage nature and conserve natural resources, it also argued for the indispensability of nature’s beauty in an urban age. An analysis of this early environmental magazine reveals a more complicated and distinctly urban origin of environmentalism than we have fully realized.
