Beschreibung
In Invention of the Wilderness, Bruce Bond explores the wilderness as a spiritual, psychological, and ecological realm-a territory that, depending on our tolerances and affections, calls out for order, exploitation, expansion, or preservation. Although to talk of "e;inventing"e; the wilderness seems paradoxical, the book seeks to reclaim the etymological root of "e;invention"e; as a "e;venturing in."e; To invent a wilderness is to go inward by way of attentive engagement in the natural world, to affirm and liberate imaginative expression as no mere mirror of nature, but a force of it. At times meditative and melancholic, though also vibrant and full of life, Invention of the Wilderness proposes an embodied and reflective way of being in the world.
