Neil M. Maher is an associate professor of history at the Federated History Department of NJIT and Rutgers University at Newark, where he teaches environmental history, urban history, the history of technology and medicine, and landscape studies.
Professor Maher’s research interests revolve around twentieth-century Untied States environmental and political history. He has edited an interdisciplinary volume of essays titled New Jersey’s Environments: Past, Present, and Future (Rutgers University Press, 2006), which brings together the work of environmental historians, environmental scientists, and environmental policy makers. His second book, Nature’s New Deal: The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Roots of the American Environmental Movement, will be published by Oxford University Press in the fall of 2007.
He is currently working on a third book project, tentatively titled Ground Control: An Environmental History of NASA and the Space Race.
