George Perkins Marsh Knihy
George Perkins Marsh bol americký diplomat a filológ, ktorého niektorí považujú za prvého amerického environmentalistu a predchodcu konceptu udržateľnosti. Jeho práca sa zaoberala vplyvom ľudskej činnosti na životné prostredie a zdôrazňovala potrebu zodpovedného hospodárenia s prírodnými zdrojmi. Marshove spisy položili základy pre moderné ekologické myslenie a varovali pred nebezpečenstvom nadmerného využívania prírody. Jeho odkaz naďalej inšpiruje snahy o ochranu planéty.
