5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for teaching, June 2, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Literature and the Environment: A Reader on Nature and Culture (Paperback)
Literature and the Environment: A Reader on Nature and Culture has been an invaluable resource and platform for discussion in my high school literature class that centers around the natural world and man's place in it. The essays, poems, and excerpts avoid groupthink, polarization of issues, and are, for the most part, accessible to students.

This review is from: Literature and the Environment: A Reader on Nature and Culture (Paperback)
Although I haven't read all of this book, I have really enjoyed what I have read. This was assigned in a Nature & Culture college class. It has wonderful poetry and short stories. I definitely recommend it for personal enjoyment
