catalog abstract ""This volume contains a collection of Ruffin's essays on a variety of interrelated subjects. From the promotion of fence enclosure and methods of malaria prevention to advocacy of a public works program and the recycling of waste, Ruffin's ideas paved the way for the early conversation movement associated with Theodore Roosevelt, Gifford Pinchot, and others. Nature's Management presents Ruffin's activism and innovative genius at its best, replacing the image of a southern firebrand with that of an outspoken reformer deserving of recognition."--Jacket.".
