"Turning to Nature in Germany" is a study of mass movements that
aimed to bring the German people into closer contact with nature.
In the early twentieth century organized hikers, nudists, and
conservationists all looked to nature for solutions to the nation's
political crises. Following these movements over three political
eras--the Second Empire, the Weimar Republic, and the Third
Reich--the book shows how manifestations of popular culture
reflected the concerns and hopes of their time. Williams breaks
with historians who have long seen nature movements as anti-modern
and irrational by arguing that naturists were calling not for
Germany to turn back the clock, but for the nation to find a way to
navigate the treacherous waters of contemporary life and strive
toward a brighter future.
