This volume investigates crucial ways in which nature has been
apprehended, understood and valued in different cultures and over
time. It is grounded in current global concerns about growing
threats to the natural environment. Through a critical appraisal of
specific examples, it ranges widely over historical and
contemporary attitudes and behaviours. It presents a wide ranging
analysis of selected ideas and attitudes in the evolution mainly of
western civilisation, from the time of the cave artists to the
present day. It argues for preservation and conservation of the
natural resources and beauty of the earth in the face of religious
supernatural arguments and the rise of consumer capitalism and
consumerism.
