Omschrijving
Essays investigating the idea of natural heritage and the ways in which it has changed over time.
An extremely rich source of viewpoints and explorations of what nature means.
Many chapters provide only an introduction and/or a tantalizing taste of the subject, but all have extensive bibliographies. Topics range from the perceptions of explorers and naturalists, the development of scientific collections and taxidermy, individual areas and locations, and nature in art and film to nature deficit disorder, social media, ecotourism, citizen science, and teddy bears. [...] This work is mainly recommended for collections with a focus on the history and/or philosophy of science, nature, or environmentalism.
