Summary:

"In Hands on the Land: A History of the Vermont Landscape, Jan Albers examines the history - natural, environmental, social, and ultimately human - of one of America's most cherished landscapes: Vermont." "Superbly illustrated, Albers' wide-ranging narrative explores how Vermont has come to stand as a national ideal of unspoiled rural community." "Albers shows that, like any landscape, Vermont's is the sum total of human decisions that have been made about it. And she reveals how, as community strengthens, so does responsible stewardship of the land."--BOOK JACKET.
