Points to Ponder from De Blij “Regions” 15th Edition Some western European countries accepted relatively large numbers of religious Muslim immigrants at a time when secularization among native populations reached a peak. NATO’s main purpose is to provide security to its member-states in Europe plus the United States and Canada, yet its most important military operation is in Afghanistan. In northern European countries, the south tends to be more developed than the north, whereas in southern European countries the north tends to be more developed than the south. There are only two states in the world that share the same country code for international telephone traffic: the United States and Canada. Whereas more than 70 percent of Canada’s population lives within 200 kilometers (125 miles) of the northern U.S. border, only 12 percent of the Mexican population lives that close to the Southern U.S. border. Brazil is well on its way to displacing the United States as the world’s biggest food exporter; it aims to do so by 2015. Of the ten fastest-growing economies of the world during the first decade of this century, six were located in Sub-Saharan Africa. The popular uprisings across the Arab World in 2011 involved disproportionate numbers of young people and were in no small part facilitated through the use of the internet and cell-phone communication. India’s IT sector accounts for one-quarter of all exports, but employs only 2 percent of the national workforce. If India goes ahead with plans to reserve 33 percent of its Parliament seats for women, it will have almost twice as much female representation as the U.S. Congress. In the two decades between 1990 and 2010, China’s economy vaulted from tenth place in the world to second. The area surrounding China’s Pearl River Estuary has a manufacturing workforce larger than that of the entire United States.

In the dramatic narratives that comprise The Republic of Nature, Mark Fiege reframes the canonical account of American history based on the simple but radical premise that nothing in the nation's past can be considered apart from the natural circumstances in which it occurred. Revisiting historical icons so familiar that schoolchildren learn to take them for granted, he makes surprising connections that enable readers to see old stories in a new light. Among the historical moments revisited here, a revolutionary nation arises from its environment and struggles to reconcile the diversity of its people with the claim that nature is the source of liberty. Abraham Lincoln, an unlettered citizen from the countryside, steers the Union through a moment of extreme peril, guided by his clear-eyed vision of nature's capacity for improvement. In Topeka, Kansas, transformations of land and life prompt a lawsuit that culminates in the momentous civil rights case of Brown v. Board of Education.By focusing on materials and processes intrinsic to all things and by highlighting the nature of the United States, Fiege recovers the forgotten and overlooked ground on which so much history has unfolded. In these pages, the nation's birth and development, pain and sorrow, ideals and enduring promise come to life as never before, making a once-familiar past seem new. The Republic of Nature points to a startlingly different version of history that calls on readers to reconnect with fundamental forces that shaped the American experience.Mark Fiege is an associate professor of history and the William E. Morgan Chair of Liberal Arts at Colorado State University, Fort Collins. He is the author of Irrigated Eden: The Making of an Agricultural Landscape in the West.
