stormdogWilliam Cronon's Nature's Metropolis may be the most awesome history book ever.
I exaggerate, and books don't lend themselves to this kind of comparison. And there are many awesome history books. Like Nan Enstad's book on working urban women in turn-of-the-20th century New York City. Funny how both of those came from UW-Madison. If I was thinking of grad school in history, I'd *seriously* be looking at that program.
But this is an awesome book.
Which is good, because I still have another hundred pages of it to read for Monday.
