Summary
In the 1970s, environmentalist John Livingston began to find serious flaws in the conventional conservation argument. He began to challenge the belief that the survival of undomesticated plants and animals in a world dominated by humans could be enabled through… "resource conservation" managed by humans. He argues that our dependence on ideas -- in effect, our own domestication -- has cut us off from the natural world, and led us to believe that our domination over nature is itself "natural." Winner of the 1994 Governor General's Award for Non-fiction.
