Christof Mauch is a leading German historian who has spent many years in the US and in this book he attempts, from a European perspective, to grasp the diversity of American culture and the transformation of its environments, combining travel reporting with nature writing, personal observation and philosophical reflection. Mauch seeks the familiar in unfamiliar places and the curious in places that seem common and well-known. The journey begins in tiny Wiseman, Alaska and the final portrait is of Portland, Oregon, famously America’s most sustainable city. In between, Mauch’s wanderings in space and time, his serendipitous and planned encounters with places and people, bring to light the tension and ambivalence in most Americans’ attitudes towards their often-perilous environment, the intertwining throughout history of valuation, conservation and destruction. Interactions between human beings and the environment have settled like sediment down the centuries and may be read in the present – in the form of landscapes and collective memory, in bodies of water and the earth’s strata, tree rings and human cells. One of Mauch’s dominant themes is that the grand hopes and bitter disappointments of the American paradise are not equally distributed – the blues is the voice of the dispossessed and disadvantaged; and here environmental injustice toward Black, Indigenous and other marginalised people is a recurring and haunting motif. This is a book of melancholia and hope – Mauch exposes the beauty, the imperilment, at times the wreckage, of the American environment. And he shows us that, more powerfully than abstract ideas, governmental edicts or technological forces, stories reveal the infinite discoveries to be made in humans’ relationship to nature – in beautiful landscapes where danger lurks as well as in visions and behaviours that change the world and ecosystems. Above all, stories demonstrate that where we come from and where we are going are intimately connected and therefore nothing has to remain as it is. The stories told in Paradise Blues demonstrate that vulnerabilities and pressures are almost always political constructions and, for that reason, it must be possible to deconstruct them. lok: 51579630 3 exp: 51579630 3 1 #EPN 201B/01 $024-02-24 $t23:01:04.644 201C/01 $024-02-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01256858544 208@/01 $a24-02-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 5 exp: 51579630 5 1 #EPN 201B/01 $024-02-24 $t23:01:04.647 201C/01 $024-02-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01256858552 208@/01 $a24-02-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 8 exp: 51579630 8 1 #EPN 201B/01 $024-02-24 $t23:01:04.650 201C/01 $024-02-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01256858560 208@/01 $a24-02-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 10 exp: 51579630 10 1 #EPN 201B/01 $024-02-24 $t23:01:04.652 201C/01 $024-02-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01256858579 208@/01 $a24-02-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 11 exp: 51579630 11 1 #EPN 201B/01 $009-07-24 $t23:18:34.895 201C/01 $009-07-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01266614079 208@/01 $a09-07-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 20 exp: 51579630 20 1 #EPN 201B/01 $009-07-24 $t23:18:34.898 201C/01 $009-07-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01266614087 208@/01 $a09-07-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 21 exp: 51579630 21 1 #EPN 201B/01 $024-02-24 $t23:01:04.654 201C/01 $024-02-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01256858587 208@/01 $a24-02-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 23 exp: 51579630 23 1 #EPN 201B/01 $024-02-24 $t23:01:04.657 201C/01 $024-02-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01256858595 208@/01 $a24-02-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 24 exp: 51579630 24 1 #EPN 201B/01 $009-07-24 $t23:18:34.901 201C/01 $009-07-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01266614095 208@/01 $a09-07-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 25 exp: 51579630 25 1 #EPN 201B/01 $024-02-24 $t23:01:04.660 201C/01 $024-02-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01256858609 208@/01 $a24-02-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 36 exp: 51579630 36 1 #EPN 201B/01 $009-07-24 $t23:18:34.904 201C/01 $009-07-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01266614109 208@/01 $a09-07-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 49 exp: 51579630 49 1 #EPN 201B/01 $009-07-24 $t23:18:34.906 201C/01 $009-07-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01266614117 208@/01 $a09-07-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 54 exp: 51579630 54 1 #EPN 201B/01 $009-07-24 $t23:18:34.911 201C/01 $009-07-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01266614133 208@/01 $a09-07-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 107 exp: 51579630 107 1 #EPN 201B/01 $009-07-24 $t23:18:34.919 201C/01 $009-07-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01266614168 208@/01 $a09-07-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 108 exp: 51579630 108 1 #EPN 201B/01 $009-07-24 $t23:18:34.922 201C/01 $009-07-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01266614176 208@/01 $a09-07-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 204 exp: 51579630 204 1 #EPN 201B/01 $024-02-24 $t23:01:04.662 201C/01 $024-02-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01256858617 208@/01 $a24-02-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH lok: 51579630 205 exp: 51579630 205 1 #EPN 201B/01 $024-02-24 $t23:01:04.664 201C/01 $024-02-24 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01256858625 208@/01 $a24-02-24 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/134294 $XH
