“Cutover Capitalism: The Industrialization of the Northern Forest” and “Saharan Winds: Energy Systems and Aeolian Imaginaries in Western Sahara” are scholarly monographs that address environmental concerns.
“Cutover Capitalism: The Industrialization of the Northern Forest,” by historian Jason L. Newton, provides a fresh perspective on the process of industrialization in America through the study of rural workers in the recently cutover landscape of Maine’s forests circa the late 1800s and early 1900s.
