- Man in the Landscape : A Historic View of the Esthetics of Nature, Paperback by Shepard, Paul; Foreman, Dave (FRW), ISBN 082032440X, ISBN-13 9780820324401, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US
A pioneering exploration of the roots of our attitudes toward nature, Paul Shepard's most seminal work is as challenging and provocative today as it was when it first appeared in 1967. Man in the Landscape was among the first books of a new genre that has elucidated the ideas, beliefs, and images that lie behind our modern destruction and conservation of the natural world.
Departing from the traditional study of land use as a history of technology, this book explores the emergence of modern attitudes in literature, art, and architecture - their evolutionary past and their taproot in European and Mediterranean cultures. With humor and wit, Shepard considers the influence of Christianity on ideas about nature, the absence of a nature ethic in modern philosophy, and the obsessive themes of dominance and control as elements of the modern mind.
