Description

Nature and Madness by Paul Shepard explores our complex relationship with the earth, revealing how we have long struggled to balance our appreciation for nature's beauty with our desire to control and exploit its forces. This thought-provoking work uncovers the cultural roots of our ecological crisis and proposes ways to repair our connection with the natural world.

Shepard argues that despite our destructive tendencies, each individual retains a 'secret person' - an undamaged impulse towards nature and the earth. This book offers a hopeful message, suggesting that by acknowledging and addressing our ecological problems, we can work towards healing our relationship with the planet.
