Book Description
Perhaps America's best environmental idea was not the national park but the garden cemetery, a use of space that quickly gained popularity in the mid-nineteenth century. Such spaces of repose brought key elements of the countryside into rapidly expanding cities, making nature accessible to all and serving to remind visitors of the natural cycles of life. In this unique interdisciplinary blend of historical narrative, cultural criticism, and poignant memoir, Aaron Sachs argues that American cemeteries embody a forgotten landscape tradition that has much to teach us in our current moment of environmental crisis. Until the trauma of the Civil War, many Americans sought to shape society into what they thought of as an Arcadia--not an Eden where fruit simply fell off the tree, but a public garden that depended on an ethic of communal care, and whose sense of beauty and repose related directly to an acknowledgement of mortality and limitation. Sachs explores the notion of Arcadia in the works of nineteenth-century nature writers, novelists, painters, horticulturists, landscape architects, and city planners, and holds up for comparison the twenty-first century's--and his own--tendency toward denial of both death and environmental limits. His far-reaching insights suggest new possibilities for the environmental movement today and new ways of understanding American history.

Book Description
Loss, like love, deepens with living. Defining loss travels beyond grief. It is more than saying goodbye, surviving destruction, or facing deprivation. Loss means letting go, moving on, and finding the light again. Lost items, lost people, lost minds. In them, there's a silent hope. With loss comes pain, but with pain comes finding the good-the happiness-in renewing one's life and redeeming the irredeemable. On Loss is a genre-crossing collection of short stories, poetry, and flash fiction. Each piece, though vastly different, is "On Loss." Narratives, tragedies, and tales from space travel, time travel and a crime-fighting superhero to war veterans, insanity, and a drive-thru cemetery splash across the pages. Whether losing a loved one, memories, innocence, or the mind, each one follows a different path of loss and its aftermath. Every story unique, each touched with inflection and speckled with despair. Follow the authors of On Loss through the pain and impossibility to lessons learned, forgiveness, and the hope of a better tomorrow. Authors Include Aaron Pasker, Alice Lam, Andrea Goyan, Bernadette Fah, Boris Glikman, Cari Greywolf Rowan, Chad V. Broughman, Christy Nicholas, Connor Edick, Deborah Staunton, Donald J.

Book Description
A masterly and beautifully written account of the impact of Alexander von Humboldt on nineteenth-century American history and culture The naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) achieved unparalleled fame in his own time. Today, however, he and his enormous legacy to American thought are virtually unknown. In The Humboldt Current, Aaron Sachs traces Humboldt's pervasive influence on American history through examining the work of four explorers—J. N. Reynolds, Clarence King, George Wallace, and John Muir—who embraced Humboldt's idea of a "chain of connection" uniting all peoples and all environments. A skillful blend of narrative and interpretation that also discusses Humboldt's influence on Emerson, Whitman, Thoreau, Melville, and Poe, The Humboldt Current offers a colorful, passionate, and superbly written reinterpretation of nineteenth-century American history.
