Opis

The concept and values of wilderness have been under attack for the past several decades. Mark Woods responds to seven prominent anti-wilderness arguments. He offers a rethinking of the received concept of wilderness, developing a positive account of wilderness as a significant location for the other-than-human value-adding properties of naturalness, wildness, and freedom.
