Natural Beauty: Why it Matters to Us

By: David E. Cooper

What is it about a mountain landscape, an ancient woodland or the changing light on the sea that can move us so deeply? David E. Cooper believes that our experience of natural beauty is far more than a source of passing pleasure: it is a vital part of living a good life.

Drawing on philosophy, poetry and nature writing from all over the world, Cooper develops a rich account of both beauty and nature, showing how our experiences of nature can be meaningful in many ways. He challenges us to rethink our relationship with nature and to see it as an essential component of a life well lived.
