Beginning with a simple definition of environmentalists as \"those who confess a concern for the non-human,\" he reviews what is inherent in industrial societies to make them so resistant to the concerns of environmentalists. His analysis draws on citing such diverse sources as Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger, and \u003cem\u003eTIME\u003c\/em\u003e, and examines how we tend to think about the world and how we might think about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book does not offer solutions to environmental questions, but it does offer the hope that there can be new ways of thinking and flexibility in human\/environmental relations. Although humans seem alienated from our the natural world, we can develop a new understanding of  self in the world.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second edition has a new preface and an epilogue in which Evernden analyses the latest environmental catch-phrase: sustainable development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Evernden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802077854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802077851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.08w x 0.55d","brand":"Neil Evernden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057343623423,"sku":"9780802077851","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02c37e05-47be-404a-8ea4-79ac7477fc75.jpg?v=1685046434","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/natural-alien-2nd-ed-2e-neil-evernden-9780802077851","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
