Opis

Modern environmentalism has come to realize that many of its key concerns--"wilderness" and "nature" among them--are contested territory, viewed differently by different people. Understanding nature requires science and ecology, to be sure, but it also requires a sensitivity to history, culture, and narrative. Thus, understanding nature is a fundamentally hermeneutic task.
