Humanature
de Peter Goin · Publicada por primera vez en 1996
Humanature asks us to recognize and intelligently consider the far-reaching ways in which we are reshaping nature on a planet-wide scale. In his eloquent essay, Peter Goin writes about unwise land usage, pesticides and pollution, wildlife management, genetic engineering, resource consumption, and other indicators to show the dramatic range of human impact in the natural world. His photographs, which form the vital core of the book, provide convincing and often surprising confirmation of the extent to which people and nature have become a continuum - humanature. Having influenced, altered, and designed nature, it behooves us to try to understand the cultural construction of wildness and of the role of nature as a cultural paradigm. Humanature will be an important and challenging contribution to this process of learning about our relationship to the environment in which we live.
