John Muir was an early proponent of a view we still hold today-that much of California was pristine, untouched wilderness before the arrival of Europeans. But as this groundbreaking book demonstrates, what Muir was really seeing when he admired the grand vistas of Yosemite and the gold and purple flowers carpeting the Central Valley were the fertile gardens of the Sierra Miwok and Valley Yokuts Indians, modified and made productive by centuries of harvesting, tilling, sowing, pruning, and burning. Marvelously detailed and beautifully written, Tending the Wild is an unparalleled examination of Native American knowledge and uses of California's natural resources that reshapes our understanding of native cultures and shows how we might begin to use their knowledge in our own conservation efforts.

Africa: the Berlin conference had only recognized the colonies of Angola and Mozambique, but Portugal claimed all the territory that united them, the region known as Zambeziland, by the river Zambezi, which crosses it. Already five years ago, Britain had succeeded in having Bechuanaland recognized as its protectorate (although it was expanding: a few months later it would annex the northernmost region indicated on the map), and Cecil Rhodes was obtaining concessions from the indigenous chiefs in Zambeziland. This put Portugal in conflict with Britain. In defense of its claims, Portugal tried to gain the support of Germany, claiming that a third power was needed to isolate the German colonies from the British to avoid a conflict between two great powers. However, Germany did not want to confront Britain and did not support Portugal, nor did the Republic of South Africa
