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: 53093427 3 exp: 53093427 3 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.203 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658303 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 5 exp: 53093427 5 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.207 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658311 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 8 exp: 53093427 8 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.210 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0130865832X 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 10 exp: 53093427 10 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.213 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658338 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 11 exp: 53093427 11 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.215 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658346 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 20 exp: 53093427 20 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.218 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658354 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 21 exp: 53093427 21 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.220 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658362 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 23 exp: 53093427 23 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.222 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658370 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 24 exp: 53093427 24 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.225 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658389 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 25 exp: 53093427 25 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.227 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658397 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 36 exp: 53093427 36 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.230 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658400 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 49 exp: 53093427 49 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.233 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658419 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 54 exp: 53093427 54 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.235 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658427 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 107 exp: 53093427 107 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.241 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658443 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 108 exp: 53093427 108 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.244 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658451 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 204 exp: 53093427 204 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.246 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0130865846X 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR lok: 53093427 205 exp: 53093427 205 1 #EPN 201B/01 $028-06-25 $t08:51:01.249 201C/01 $028-06-25 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01308658478 208@/01 $a28-06-25 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87135 $XR
