Description: | Select Guide Rating Presents an account of the changing attitudes in people towards nature and the environment between 1500-1800. ''Man and the Natural World, an encyclopaedic study of man''s relationship to animals and plants, is completely engrossing ... It explains everything - why we eat what we do, why we plant this and not that, why we keep pets, why we like some animals and not others, why we kill the things we kill and love the things we love ... It is often a funny book and one to read again and again'' Paul Theroux, Sunday Times |
