Voices of Eco-Literature: Critical Essays and Global Perspectives (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781680539592)

Understanding globalization in terms of wealth creation, trade deals, and consumerism cannot be definitive without appreciating the attitudinal shift in perceptions of ecology. "Glocalization," a concept which encourages local initiative in line with the big picture, is the clarion call of a new environmental movement that has adopted eco-centric nature conservers as its frontline. Humanity is constantly informed by varied facets of ecology, and this volume presents numerous valuable tropes while showing that ecology is multi-dimensional in offering approaches to appreciate it. Globalization and humanity's increased speed in heading for extremes in scientific endeavours have introduced many new situations that were previously unforeseen and that can pave the way for renewed rethinking and reorientation.
