A pioneering exploration of the roots of our attitudes toward nature, Paul Shepard's classic work of environmental history 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.
