Inhaltsangabe

Modern environmentalism has come to realize that many of its key concerns―"wilderness" and "nature" among them―are contested territory, viewed differently by different people. Understanding nature requires science and ecology, to be sure, but it also requires a sensitivity to history, culture, and narrative. Thus, understanding nature is a fundamentally hermeneutic task.
