Great book

Although I haven't read all of this book, I have really enjoyed what I have read. This was assigned in a Nature & Culture college class. It has wonderful poetry and short stories. I definitely recommend it for personal enjoyment

Thinking person book

Anyone that loves good literature, appreciates our beautiful country. My son really appreciated receiving this book as a gift.

Excellent for teaching

Literature and the Environment: A Reader on Nature and Culture has been an invaluable resource and platform for discussion in my high school literature class that centers around the natural world and man's place in it. The essays, poems, and excerpts avoid groupthink, polarization of issues, and are, for the most part, accessible to students.
