	by Martin Melosi and Charles Reagan Wilson Sales Rank: 155752	List Price: ~~$19.95~~ $15.96 At Amazon on 10-15-2008

Paperback: 320 pages Publisher: The University of North Carolina Press November 19, 2007 Language: English ISBN-10: 0807858560 ISBN-13: 978-0807858561 Product Dimensions: 9.2 x 6.1 x 0.9 inches Shipping Weight: 1 pounds *Product Description* From semitropical coastal areas to high mountain terrain, from swampy lowlands to modern cities, the environment holds a fundamental importance in shaping the character of the American South. This volume of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture surveys the dynamic environmental forces that have shaped human culture in the region--and the ways humans have shaped their environment. Articles examine how the South's ecology, physiography, and climate have influenced southerners--not only as a daily fact of life but also as a metaphor for understanding culture and identity. *About The Author* Martin Melosi is Distinguished University Professor of History at the University of Houston. He is author of several books, including the award-winning The Sanitary City: Urban Infrastructure in America from Colonial Times to the Present. Charles Reagan Wilson is director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi and coeditor of the original Encyclopedia of Southern Culture.
