| Publisher Description: This provocative investigation draws from diverse sources not usually combined in sociological synthesis (such as Pleistocene geography, literary criticism, biology, and chemistry). The analysis examines the social consequences of man-environment interactions under a variety of conditions and includes such topics as the discovery of the environmental crisis; time, habitat and social structure; vocabularies of nature; rhetorical uses of nature; democracy and conservation; frontiers, abundance, and rationality; and the end of normality. |
