Carson Fellow Donald Worster argues that the discovery of the New World dramatically shaped the very idea of freedom; it significantly altered perceptions of nature, economic growth, and concepts of individuality. Donald Worster is an American environmental historian and is the Hall Distinguished Professor of American History at the University of Kansas, where he has been a member of the faculty since 1989.
