TY - BOOK AU - Woods, Mark PY - 2017 DA - 2017// TI - Rethinking wilderness: by Mark Woods PB - Broadview Press CY - Peterborough, Ontario, Canada KW - Environmental ethics KW - Environmental protection KW - Nature conservation KW - Wilderness areas AB - "The concept and values of wilderness, along with the practice of wilderness preservation, have been under attack for the past several decades. In Rethinking Wilderness, Mark Woods responds to seven prominent anti-wilderness arguments. Woods offers a rethinking of the received concept of wilderness, developing a positive account of wilderness as a significant location for the other-than-human value-adding properties of naturalness, wildness, and freedom. Interdisciplinary in approach, the book combines environmental philosophy, environmental history, environmental social sciences, the science of ecology, and the science of conservation biology."-- SN - 1551113481 LA - English ID - 1006024263 ER -
