Loving and Studying Nature: Celebrating the Earth through History, Culture and Education: International Explorations in Outdoor and Environmental Education, cartea 10
Autor Malcolm Skilbecken Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 ian 2023
This volume investigates crucial ways in which nature has been apprehended, understood and valued in different cultures and over time. It is grounded in current global concerns about growing threats to the natural environment. Through a critical appraisal of specific examples, it ranges widely over historical and contemporary attitudes and behaviours.
It presents a wide ranging analysis of selected ideas and attitudes in the evolution mainly of western civilisation, from the time of the cave artists to the present day. It argues for preservation and conservation of the natural resources and beauty of the earth in the face of religious supernatural arguments and the rise of consumer capitalism and consumerism.
