Description
Summary:The author examines situations over three centuries that reveal North American Catholic perspectives toward ocean, wilderness, and the environment. In the process, connections among the land, water, communities of Catholics, the common good, and the ability to observe these relationships move the environment from being an object to being a subject of history. The author suggests a gathering of scholars from a variety of disciplines to explore more fully a new field of North American Catholic history.
