Description
The Story of Nature: A Human History
Jeremy Mynott explores the complex and evolving relationship between humanity and the natural world, tracing the story of nature from pre-history to the present day.
Through a richly illustrated narrative, Mynott examines how our understanding of the world around us has changed over time, from the early depictions of animals to the current climate emergency, revealing the deep historical roots of our impulse to control nature and the potential for human imagination to play a restorative role.
