| Summary |
Annotation Combining personal memoirs with formal essays, this collection encourages activism as a personal commitment, dialogue with perceived enemies in environmental wars, and the dismantling of power-based divisions of centre versus marginal politics. |
|
Annotation Universal in scope, yet focusing on recognizable Canadian places, this collection of essays connects individuals' love of nature to larger social issues, to cultural activities, and to sustainable technology. Subjects include activism in Cape Breton, eco-feminism, Native perspectives on the history of humans' relationship with the natural world, the inconsistency of humankind's affinity with nature alongside its capacity to destroy, and scientific and traditional accounts of evolution and how they can come together for the welfare of Earth's ecology. |
