The Symbolic Earth: Discourse and Our Creation of the Environment

Book Overview

Believing that the environment is largely a product of how we talk about the world, the contributors to The Symbolic Earth argue that the only hope we have of preserving the environment is to understand and alter the fundamental ways we discuss it. As the first real attempt to understand the process by which we form our opinions about the environment, this collection's thought-provoking content makes it a must-read for policy makers and ordinary citizens concerned with the fate of the earth.
