Recenzii

“The product of a rich life of intellect and activism, this book is a must read for anyone concerned with nature, gender, and the future of life on our planet.”
-Londa Schiebinger, author of The Mind has No Sex? Nature’s Body; and Has Feminism Changed Science?
“Carolyn Merchant has been one of the true pioneers of environmental history, making important contributions for more than four decades. This collection will enable readers to sample and savor the wide-ranging nature of her work over the full sweep of her career.”
-William Cronon, author of Changes in the Land and Nature’s Metropolis
“Science and Nature is a wide-ranging feast of scholarship from early modern mechanics, natural philosophy, and sociology of knowledge to eco-feminism and environmental history. The broad topical scope is marked by a strong and masterfully argued thematic coherence. Carolyn Merchant’s trenchant critique of the grand narrative of the Scientific Revolution is prerequisite to her critical analysis of contemporary environmental justice and her offering of a new and visionary ethic of partnership with Nature.”
-Francesca Rochberg, author of Before Nature and The Heavenly Writing
“Dating from the early seventies to the present, this collection of lively essays, artfully revised to create a coherent whole, demonstrates Carolyn Merchant's lucid mastery and synthesis of the full spectrum of the environmental humanities. Centrally, they trace the history of the revolution in Western natural philosophy (aka the “Scientific Revolution”) to what is in effect a second such revolution epitomized by ecology, relativity/quantum physics, and chaos/complexity mathematics. This dramatic engagement of often hubristic Science with obdurate Nature is critically examined through the moral lens of feminism and environmental ethics.”
-J. Baird Callicott, author of In Defense of the Land Ethic and Thinking Like
