Více o knize

The book critically examines the relationship between American environmental literature and ecological restoration, using a storying-restorying-restoring framework. It highlights how five influential writers—Thoreau, Muir, Leopold, Douglas, and Abbey—have shaped restoration politics through their literary works, which address themes of nature, wilderness, and conservation. By analyzing the impact of these authors on ecological restoration initiatives, the book integrates environmental history, literature, and political discourse, emphasizing the significance of literary contributions to restoration ecology and rewilding efforts.
