Hardcover. Condizione: Used - Like New. Radical ecology typically brings to mind media images of ecological activists standing before loggers' saws, staging anti-nuclear marches, and confronting polluters on the high seas. Yet for more than twenty years, the activities of organizations such as the Greens and Earth First! have been influenced by a diverse, less-publicized group of radical ecological philosophers. It is their work--the philosophical underpinnings of the radical ecological movement--that is the subject of Contesting Earth's Future. The book offers a much-needed, balanced appraisal of radical ecology's principles, goals, and limitations. Michael Zimmerman critically examines the movement's three major branches--deep ecology, social ecology, and ecofeminism. He also situates radical ecology within the complex cultural and political terrain of the late twentieth century, showing its relation to Martin Heidegger's anti-technological thought, 1960s counterculturalism, and contemporary theories of poststructuralism and postmodernity. An early and influential ecological thinker, Zimmerman is uniquely qualified to provide a broad overview of radical environmentalism and delineate its various schools of thought. He clearly describes their defining arguments and internecine disputes, among them the charge that deep ecology is an anti-modern, proto-fascist ideology. Reflecting both the movement's promise and its dangers, this book is essential reading for all those concerned with the worldwide ecological crisis. 'By linking environmental philosophy and Continental thought, Zimmerman's book represents a landmark in both fields.'--J. Baird Callicott, University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. Like new.

Hardcover. Condizione: Used - Very Good. Photographer Tupper Ansel Blake and writer Peter Steinhart provide a new way of looking at the United States-Mexico borderlands. Instead of seeing a wasteland of browns and grays, Blake and Steinhart, and all others who recognize the value of the resources here, see the pale pinks and purples of ancient rock formations, the clamorous reds of tropical bird species, the cool greens of alpine forests, and the sparkling silver of mountain waters. This new way of seeing is critical to the survival of a unique and fragile region. Long dismissed as a desolate wasteland, the borderlands reveals, much to the contrary, startling beauty, variety, and biological richness. All along the border and for fifty miles on either side lies some of the world's most ecologically diverse land. It is rich in animal and plant species, many not found anywhere else, some in danger of disappearing forever. Blake's photos offer stunning portraits of the life and landscape to be found in this area: bighorn sheep, parrots, groves of cottonwood, jaguars, giant desert centipedes, a perfect rainbow over a desert scene. Steinhart describes the varied habitats - grasslands, desert, rivers, and floodplains - and the lives of the people who live there, as well as the environmental pressures being exerted on them. Evident beside the natural beauties of the borderlands are the effects of environmental degradation. Grasslands once covered much of the region, but now, after more than a century of cattle grazing and the introduction of nonnative grasses, little pristine grassland remains. Steamboats once navigated the San Pedro River to deliver goods to Tombstone, Arizona, but today most of the San Pedro has no year-roundsurface flow, and many species of fish and amphibians have disappeared. In Tamaulipas, the future of farmers and ranchers is in jeopardy also as the slow-growing mesquite forests are depleted for charcoal production. For many, charcoal represents the only source of income for hundreds Tupper Ansel Blake's stunning photography reveals the remarkable diversity of life and terrain within the land lying along the 2,000-mile border between Mexico and the U.S. Peter Steinhart's inspired text provides regional history, environmental awareness, and an understanding of the human role in the region. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.

Hardcover. Condizione: Used - Very Good. In 1500 few Europeans regarded nature as a subject worthy of inquiry. Yet fifty years later the first museums of natural history had appeared in Italy, dedicated to the marvels of nature. Italian patricians, their curiosity fueled by new voyages of exploration and the humanist rediscovery of nature, created vast collections as a means of knowing the world and used this knowledge to their greater glory. Drawing on extensive archives of visitors' books, letters, travel journals, memoirs, and pleas for patronage, Paula Findlen reconstructs the lost social world of Renaissance and Baroque museums. She follows the new study of natural history as it moved out of the universities and into sixteenth- and seventeenth-century scientific societies, religious orders, and princely courts. Findlen argues convincingly that natural history as a discipline blurred the border between the ancients and the moderns, between collecting in order to recover ancient wisdom and the development of new textual and experimental scholarship. Her vivid account reveals how the scientific revolution grew from the constant mediation between the old forms of knowledge and the new. 'As a study of late Renaissance naturalists, the science they practised, and the fit between that science and late Renaissance court life, the book has no rival.'--Anthony Grafton, Princeton University Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. Slight dust stains on text edges.
