In 1971, when Brooks Atkinson wrote This Bright Land, the modern conservation movement was being driven by new awareness of science's shortcomings. The early conservation movement, built on John Muir and Henry David Thoreau's appreciation of nature, was well aware of man's ability to outstrip his environment, but until the 1960s society still trusted man's ingenuity to fix any problem, even as mankind willfully depleted his natural resources.
However, Rachel Carson's 1962 publication of Silent Spring demonstrated this trust was misplaced. Her research into the harmful effect of DDT demonstrated that mankind's incautious use of science and technology could destroy the environmental base, that it was a fragile base.
It was instinctive then that a Thoreau student, such as Brooks Atkinson, would quickly understand not only the old dangers in mankind's choices, such as deforestation, but also newer problems such as hazardous chemicals, or air and water pollution, that threaten both flora and fauna in This Bright Land of America.

Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times drama critic Brooks Atkinson (1894-1984) was not just a writer. Whether climbing or hiking to satisfy his need for nature or visiting other cultures to satisfy a need for adventure, Brooks was using his knack for observation to show a world of color, a world of wonder. Early in his career, he took the time to hike with a friend across the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, documenting their travels with vivid descriptions of emotion and nature. Join Brooks on his journey as he writes with the relish he felt about the written word and his time on Skyline Promenades. Brooks shows that hiking had the same beauty and exhilaration in 1925 that it has today.

ALL COLOR INTERIOR
Very few men have had the impact on Broadway theatre as did Justin Brooks Atkinson, the drama critic of The New York Times from 1925-1960, and the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for foreign correspondence in 1947. Excepting four years as a foreign correspondent during WWII, for 31 years Mr. Atkinson's views in The Times were held in high regard by theatre-goers and industry producers, directors, playwrights, and actors, often making or breaking productions.
It is from this expert background that his descriptions of Broadway from the late 1800s through 1970, as reflected in his history of New York theater in Broadway are so valuable.
Whether you are a theater historian, or simply a theater lover, you will be spellbound by the parade of stars, writers, directors and producers in the many productions that made stage history for America.
Atkinson's Broadway is not simply historical description. It is the emotions and reflections of the spirit-lifting and intellectual nuances of why Broadway remains a strength of American entertainment and soul, as much true today as it was during Atkinson's time.
"It is in historical projects such as this one that Atkinson performs the ultimate connecting of the dots over long periods of time. We see him recognizing other decade-long patterns, ... and continuing to elevate his impression of the astonishing creative outbursts that belied the Great Depression's grueling hardship. The defining characteristics for him -- the conclusions he always seeks -- have to do with the fundamental originality of the works in question, and in what way they struggle with, or somehow shed new light on, real-life predicaments."
