We noticed, recently, the following essays on the Aeon+Pysche website, each and all of which provide thought-provoking reading for environmental historians and others. Notable are their range - in time, from the Ancient World to the present; in space from Colorado to the Mediterranean and beyond; and in the background of their authors, from classics and natural history through the philosophy of science, to creative writing. Together these pieces affirm the value of speaking - as Thoreau had it - “a word for nature. “
Happy and productive reading
