While there is a strong modern day movement for environmentalism and green living, there was an equally important and widespread conservation movement in the early 1900s. Crisis of the Wasteful Nation: Empire and Conservation in Theodore Roosevelt's America looks at conservation's champion Theodore Roosevelt and beyond to create a transnational picture using environmental, economic, and imperial history. The book is divided into three sections ("The Origins of Alarm," "The New Empire and the Rise of Conservation," and "The Global Vision of Theodore Roosevelt and Its Fate") that follow early conservation's history, the specific areas of nature the movement addressed, and the inherent paradox of Roosevelt's conservation efforts while he simultaneously hunted big game.
