Hal K. Rothman (1958–2007) was a historian, professor, radio show host, editor, public intellectual, and prolific author. Noted environmental history scholar Char Miller called him "a dynamic teacher, riveting speaker, compelling scholar, and sharp-tongued pundit."〔Char Miller, "Remembering the Life Force of Hal Rothman," Newwest available via: http://www.newwest.net/index.php/main/article/remembering_the_life_force_of_hal_rothman〕 The writer Will Sarvis called Rothman "one of the best editors" he had ever worked with.〔Will Sarvis, "Remembering Hal K. Rothman (1958-2007), https://sites.google.com/site/willsarvis/comment/remembering-hal-k-rothman.〕 University of Colorado historian Patricia Nelson Limerick (author of the famous book, ''Legacy of Conquest'') described Rothman as a key contributor in the late 20th century renaissance of American West history. Limerick confirmed Rothman's almost unworldly level of energy, "Especially () the rate of publications -- thoughtful, and really worthwhile books."〔KNPR, Nevada Public Radio, "Remembering Hal Rothman II," http://www.knpr.org/son/archive/detail2.cfm?SegmentID=3152&ProgramID=1040〕 Rothman made numerous national media appearances in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, and on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and other places.〔http://history.unlv.edu/faculty/rothman.html〕 Rothman died of Lou Gehrig's disease in 2007.〔Lawrence Mower, "UNLV Professor, Las Vegas Expert Hal Rothman Dies," ''Las Vegas Review-Journal'', Feb. 27, 2007.〕 ==Selected publications== ''America's National Monuments: the Politics of Preservation''.
