  • The Art of Noticing : An Essay on Contemporary Ecological Writing

    Creator:
    West, Rex Alan, 1967-
    Abstract:
    A number of thinkers are becoming increasingly persuaded that our anthropocentric view of nature is inadequate, that we need a "new morality" with regard to the environment.
