Opis

As the full effects of human activity on Earth's life-support systems are revealed by science, the question of whether we can change, fundamentally, our relationship with nature becomes increasingly urgent. Just as important as an understanding of our environment, is an understanding of ourselves, of the kinds of beings we are and why we act as we do.

Recenzje

'This is a deeply intelligent and rewarding book. It is lucidly written, blessedly free of academic preening, and focused on important social issues. Loving Nature provides some inspirational ideas to disentangle the links between environment, emotion and political performances.' – Monica Degen, Open University
