Back to Earth: Tomorrow's Environmentalism

Front Cover
Temple University Press, 1994 - Nature - 200 pages
In the face of our receding connection to nature and the loss of our direct experience of the world, this book proposes a different kind of environmentalism. It argues that we must restore our link with the 'more-than-human' world, bringing wilderness, animals, and the Earth closer to individuals and into daily life.
