Summary
The drive to own the natural world in twentieth-century America seems virtually limitless. Signs of this national penchant for possessing nature are everywhere - from suburban picket fences to postings in the wilderness that read "Keep Out -Private Property" to elaborate schemes to own underground water, clouds, airspace, even the ocean floor.
