- Annotation
- Overview of rapidly changing environmental conditions during Hemingway s lifetime, including the rise of urban pollution, forestry holocausts, and atomic bomb testing. Connects these crises to Hemingway s need for wilderness experienced in East Africa, the Gulf Stream, and the American West. Argues that Hemingway had a Roosevelt-era conservation mindset but was not involved in environmental politics. As a naturalist, his conservation values were attuned to saving resources for future exploitation rather than to preservation for its own sake. Concludes that Hemingway contributed to the environment by capturing its wonder in timeless writings.
