Scott Sanders, Stay Put: Making a Home in a Restless World, presents his belief of ideas are more important to the American people than the places which they live in. All of these writers all give substantial information of their viewpoints which combined makes up the identity of American culture.
Thesis: The authors of my secondary source peer reviewed article, Daviken Studnicki Gizbert and David Schecter, discuss the ecological dynamics, human and physical, of mining-driven deforestation in colonial Mexico. Mining was brought into New Spain in the 1500’s and New Spain accounted for forty percent of the world’s silver supply in the early modern period. A single mine could consume well over twenty times the amount of fuel-wood burned by a town of five to six thousand inhabitants. Without fuel the foundry fires would go out and the processing of metals would come to a complete stand still, and mining fueled the development of new and more intensive forms of land use such as pastoralism and agriculture. The debate is principally revolved
