- Author: Wilson, AlexanderEdition: Second editionDate:Created2019Summary:
Since it was first published in 1991, few books have come close to capturing the depth and breadth of Alexander Wilson's innovative ecocultural compendium The Culture of Nature. His work was one of the first of its kind to investigate the ideology of the environment, to critique the future according to Disney, and illustrate that the ways we think, teach, talk about, and construct the natural world are as important a terrain as the land itself. Extensively illustrated and meticulously researched, this edition is exquisitely revised and reissued for the Anthropocene.
