Description: Man's evolution has been importantly shaped by the frontiers he has encountered as he moved across the world. The frontiers shaped him, but also he defined those frontiers and, for good or ill, thereby transformed the natural world and his own place in it. These volumes examine the way Frederick Jackson Turner's theory of the frontier is applied to its cultural, economic, political, and social development.
