Aesthetics of Natural Environments
«“At last an anthology on environmental aesthetics! This is not just a collection of papers by the most prominent contemporary environmental aestheticians, it is a field-defining work that will represent the gold standard in this new subdiscipline for years to come. The editors have adroitly selected papers both for their inherent quality and for the way they represent emergent, conflicting, and dialectical points of view. The introduction alone is worth the price of the book as it effectively organizes the cognitive landscape in environmental aesthetics and exhaustively references its historical antecedents.” - J. Baird Callicott, University of North Texas
“By showing and clarifying how nature/earth encounters us, as we encounter it, this work will play a significant role in the emergence of a new way of doing aesthetics and environmental philosophy.” - Kenneth Maly, University of Wisconsin, La Crosse
