Loving Nature Towards an Ecology of Emotion

How do some people come to care about nature and others don't? In Loving Nature , Kay Milton explores the idea of environmentalism as a distinct perspective on the world and tests the limits of anthropology against other disciplines, particularly psychology. Milton proposes a model of how we relate to the world in general and to nature in particular. Focusing on the role of emotion in shaping our experience and motivation, she develops a concept of sacredness in describing what we come to value. for environmentalists, anthropologists and those fascinated by psychology, this will make a thought-provoking read.Milton, Kay is the author of 'Loving Nature Towards an Ecology of Emotion' with ISBN 9780415253536 and ISBN 0415253535.
