Landscapes of the Heart: Narratives of Nature and Self

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
What connection do we have to our environment? How is our sense of well-being affected by our relationship with nature? This collection of personal essays takes a refreshing look at how our interaction with the environment--a river, a block of ice, a bolt of lightning, a piece of land--shapes who we are and how we connect with our world. The essayists include writers, environmental activists, and academics in the field of eco-psychology, psychology, law, environmental studies, geography, botany, and English. Each essay relates the personal experiences of a special, natural place--a place cherished or sorely missed.
