Podcast appearances and mentions of Jack E Davis

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with David Spence, a law professor at the University of Texas at Austin, about Spence's new book, “Climate of Contempt: How to Rescue the US Energy Transition from Voter Partisanship,” which was released today. Spence discusses reasons that climate and energy have become such divisive topics in US politics, including the partisan state of Congress and the modern media environment, and strategies to help build support among voters for climate action and temper polarization across the political spectrum.

Tony interviews Pulitzer-winning historian Jack E. Davis (author of W.W. Norton's The Gulf, The Bald Eagle, and others). They discuss the creative process behind composing academic scholarship: how using a varied vocabulary and sentence structure is essential; why researching and writing simultaneously is useful; and how, in Davis's words, letting nature “tell me how it wants to be written” is a pleasure. Davis is a distinguished professor of history at the University of Florida.   

Today we're speaking with Pulitzer Prize winning scholar, Jack E. Davis, who is a UF professor of history and the Rothman Family Chair in the Humanities specializing in environmental history and sustainability studies. Jack talks with us about writing for a broader audience; what makes writing fun for him; the not-so-easy task of finding an agent; what it's like to be an academic with a fellowship at MacDowell; and the experience of winning a Pulitzer.

Pulitzer Prize-winning environmental historian Jack E. Davis once again joins David M. Rubenstein to dive deep into the history, and patriotic symbolism of the bald eagle. In this talk, they discuss how the bald eagle came to be tied to American identity and government, the importance of bald eagles in Native American cultures, and how modern conservation efforts arose despite hunting of bald eagles in the early American republic. Recorded on November 16, 2022 

Pulitzer Prize-winning environmental historian Jack E. Davis delves into the story of America's most famous bird: the bald eagle. In conversation with David M. Rubenstein, Davis explores the story of the bald eagle as a unique and efficient predator predating colonization, a national symbol omnipresent in American art, architecture, and archives, and a species twice pushed to the brink of extinction. This first of two episodes focuses on the natural habitat of the American eagle, its hunting and mating habits, and migratory patterns. Recorded on November 16, 2022 

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Jack E. Davis. A Pulitzer Prize-winning author and a professor of history and Rothman Family Chair in the Humanities, specializing in environmental history and sustainability studies at the University of Florida, Mr. Davis has written a number a highly successful non-fiction books on the environment, the Gulf of Mexico and US history. Gus discovered his work while researching Florida's immense history of lynching black males. In 1989, Dr. Davis wrote, Whitewash in Florida The Lynching of Jesse James Payne and Its Aftermath. He details how "95%" of polled Florida Whites were "Kool & The Gang" with the 1945 lynching of Mr. Payne #WorthlessNegroFromFlorida In fact, many Whites in Florida were more angered about the prospect of the Payne lynching drawing unwanted attention to the southern style of practicing White Supremacy/Racism. Gus asked about the homoerotic and homosocial components of lynching, where White men drank beers and formed a brotherhood around mutilating the genitals of black males. We even compared the history of White lynching to their pastimes of coon and foxiung hunting. We also made time to discuss Dr. Davis's book, Race Against Time: Culture and Separation in Natchez Since 1930 - which examines the history of White culture and White Supremacy/Racism in the Magnolia state. Importantly, Dr. Davis got very uppity when Gus failed to address his as "Dr." during the initial portion of the broadcast. As we closed, he said it was fine to call him Jack. Also, he threw a major tantrum when Gus pointed out that he neglected to answer my question about whether a significant number of Whites are "often sincerely and greatly pained by Racism." He accused Gus of "attacking" him, and acknowledged that he may be guilty of being a "whining White Man." Gus reminded Dr. Davis that he agreed that it is logical to Suspect that anyone classified as White could be Racist (White Supremacist). #WhiningWhiteMan #Jackson #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

We look at the must-see paintings, sculptures and historic edifices across Europe. University of Florida professor Jack E. Davis notes the many roles the Gulf of Mexico has played over the years, and why it's important to understand its ecology. And we'll look at the role of guidebooks, and what can make one worth reading, a hundred years after it's been published.

Jack E. Davis is a history professor at the University of Florida, a Pulitzer Prize-winner, and the author, most recently, of The Bald Eagle: The Improbable Journey of America's Bird. In this episode, Davis explains how the Bald Eagle ended up on the Great Seal of the United States, its near-extinction due to hunting and DDT, its role as a “spirit bird” for Native Americans and Anglos alike, and why its recovery is a “great American conservation success story.”

Few birds enjoy the stature that the bald eagle has attained in the United States. It adorns our national seal, several denominations of currency, and T-shirts from coast to coast, with bonded pairs nesting everywhere from the National Arboretum to Dollywood. But not even 100 years ago, the bald eagle was hunted to the verge of extinction even while it was celebrated as a majestic symbol of independence. Children were taught that it was a threat to society or, worse, that it might kidnap and devour them. And just when we began to right our wrongs with the passage of the 1940 Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, we nearly killed off our national symbol again with DDT. Pulitzer Prize–winner Jack E. Davis swoops through five centuries of history to tell the bird's improbable story in The Bald Eagle.Go beyond the episode:Jack E.

The majestic bald eagle can be spotted throughout most of North America at various points during the year. Here in Western Washington, we're lucky to spot them all year-round — no doubt thanks to an abundance of tall trees for nesting and open bodies of water that provide a source of food. They are revered birds, sacred within Indigenous traditions, and associated with wisdom, bravery, and protection. Only a few decades ago, the future of bald eagles was tenuous. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, bald eagles were considered menaces by settler farmers, even falsely labeled as vicious, baby-snatching predators that might swoop away with an unsuspecting infant. In some areas, bounties were placed on the birds (folks could earn 50 cents to a dollar per bird killed), and their numbers declined by tens of thousands. The following years brought habitat destruction and deadly contamination of food sources by pesticides like DDT; by the 1960s, the population of nesting pairs dipped into the hundreds. After decades of concerted efforts, the bald eagle population recovered; today, it has soared to well over 300,000. What can we glean from the path of the bald eagle and the varying ways that different groups of humans have interacted with it? In The Bald Eagle: The Improbable Journey of America's Bird, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jack E. Davis traced the cultural and natural history of the bald eagle from before the nation's founding through resurgences of the enduring species. Contrasting the age when indigenous peoples lived beside it peacefully with eras when others pushed Haliaeetus leucocephalus to the brink of extinction, Davis considered how the historical journey of the bald eagle might offer inspiration as we grapple with large-scale environmental peril today. Jack E. Davis is the author of the award-winning book, The Gulf: The Making of an American Sea and An Everglades Providence: Marjory Stoneman Douglas and the American Environmental Century. A professor of environmental history at the University of Florida, he lives in Florida and New Hampshire. Deborah Jensen is the Vice-President and Executive Director for Audubon Washington working to protect birds and the places they need now and in the future. Her career is dedicated to conservation, with decades of executive experience leading conservation, education, and scientific organizations. Deborah currently serves on the Puget Sound Leadership Council and the Board of Climate Solutions and is a past-chair of the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition.

Before Rob Nixon started the Next Swell podcast, he read and fell in love with The Gulf: The Making of an American Sea. On this episode, Rob Nixon speaks with the man who wrote it, Jack E. Davis, the author of the award-winning An Everglades Providence: Marjory Stoneman Douglas and the American Environmental Century. A professor of environmental history at the University of Florida, he grew up on the Gulf coast, and now lives in Florida and New Hampshire. Hailed as a "nonfiction epic . . . in the tradition of Jared Diamond’s best-seller 'Collapse,' and Simon Winchester’s 'Atlantic'" (Dallas Morning News), The Gulf is "by turns informative, lyrical, inspiring and chilling for anyone who cares about the future of 'America’s Sea'" (Wall Street Journal). Illuminating America’s political and economic relationship with the environment from the age of the conquistadors to the present, Davis demonstrates how the Gulf’s fruitful ecosystems and exceptional beauty empowered a growing nation.
