Boston Globe cites book by Judd
University of Maine historian Richard Judd’s book, “Second Nature: An Environmental History of New England,” was included in a Boston Globe article on New England literary news. In the book, Judd chronicles how nature and humans have reshaped the region over the past 12,000 years, according to the article. He offers high praise for the environmental successes of the 1970s, including the protection of rivers and coastline and the preservation of pastoral landscapes in the face of development pressures, the article states. “Second Nature” is the winner of the New England Historical Association’s James P. Hanlan Book Award, which recognizes excellent work by a historian who lives or works in New England.
