The Shaping of America: A Geographical Perspective on 500 Years of History (Vol. 1: Atlantic America, 1492-1800), by D. W. Meinig. 528 pages. Publisher: Yale University Press (July 27, 1988) This entirely fresh interpretation of American history by a renowned historical geographer is the first in a projected three-volume series. Meinig here focuses on colonial America, examining how an immense diversity of ethnic and religious groups—Europeans, Africans, American Indians—ultimately created a set of distinct regional societies. Richly illustrated with more then forty specially prepared maps and contemporary illustrations, this volume prompts us to rethink the settling of North America.
The Shaping of America: A Geographical Perspective on 500 Years of History (Vol. 2: Continental America, 1800-1867), by D. W. Meinig. 656 pages. Publisher: Yale University Press (February 22, 1995) In this volume, the second in a projected four-volume series, D. W. Meinig again provides a fresh interpretation of the American past, bringing his special geographical perspective to the years between 1800 and 1867, the period when the nation experienced a dramatic expansion in territory, population, economy, and political tension that culminated in the Civil War. As in his first volume, Atlantic America, Meinig assesses the characteristics of regions and political territories and the relations among them, examining the dual roles played by geopolitics and ethnoculture in the shaping of the United States.
The Shaping of America: A Geographical Perspective on 500 Years of History (Vol. 3: Transcontinental America, 1850-1915), by D. W. Meinig. 480 pages. Publisher: Yale University Press (April 1, 2000) D. W. Meinig continues his riveting account of America’s interwoven history and geography, describing the expanding country’s development from the mid-nineteenth century to 1915. The book begins with the struggle over where to build the Pacific railway and fix the nation’s first transcontinental axis. Meinig portrays in detail the settlement of the diverse regions of the American West and how these many "Wests" were incorporated into the growing nation. He then examines the South as an imperial province and the dominance of the American Core over an increasingly consolidated nation. In conclusion, the Meinig considers America’s imperial pressures upon Canada and Mexico, the country’s overt expansions in the Caribbean and the Pacific, and the Panama Canal as a transcontinental completion.
The Shaping of America: A Geographical Perspective on 500 Years of History (Vol. 4: Global America, 1915-2000), by D. W. Meinig. 467 pages. Publisher: Yale University Press (October 25, 2006) This landmark book, the concluding volume in a magisterial series, presents the story of America’s interwoven history and geography from 1915 to 2000. Discussing such developments as the automotive, neotechnic, and communications revolutions, the world wars, urban migration, and regionalism, D.W. Meinig offers unprecedented insights into the reshaping of the United States. Winner of the 2005 John Brinckerhoff Jackson Prize sponsored by the Association of American Geographers Selected as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2006 by Choice Magazine.
