| Summary |
Defends the right to hunt, citing moral, ecological, and historical justifications. Attempts to debunk arguments made by animal-rights activists. In prose that vibrantly evokes the beauty and the cruelty of nature--and the archetypal nature of the hunt--James Swan argues that acknowledging the instinctual roots of the hunt is vital to repairing our modern alienation from nature and crucial to our understanding of our basic human needs. Swan is also the of Nature as Teacher and Healer. |
