Book Synopsis Nature and Social Theory by : Adrian Franklin

Download or read book Nature and Social Theory written by Adrian Franklin and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2002 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asks the questions can `Man' be separated from `Nature'? Is it valid to seek to `control' Nature? It argues that the firm modern boundaries between nature and culture have been breached and pulls together new strands of thinking about nature which suggest that humanity and nature have never been separate. The argument is developed through a critical discussion of the Romantic ideal of pure nature, unsullied by humanity and largely confined to fragile margins in need of protection and more recent discourses which identify nature with environment, and cast man in the role of a polluter and destroyer.
