Cradle of Conservation: Lecture & Book Signing
Join us for a lecture by Allen Dieterich-Ward, Professor of History at Shippensburg University and author of Cradle of Conservation: An Environmental History of Pennsylvania. Cradle of Conservation deepens our understanding of how Pennsylvanians have conserved and consumed, from the Haudenosaunee people of the Susquehanna Valley, to the iron furnaces of nineteenth-century Pittsburgh, to the diesel trucks on the twentieth-century Pennsylvania Turnpike. In addition, Dieterich-Ward explores the histories of Philadelphia’s Schuylkill River and the state’s anthracite region and traces the environmental movements and crises that have led to public policy changes in the face of climate change. A book signing in the shop will follow the lecture.
