Rethinking Wilderness

摘要

The first impression after opening Mark Wood's Rethinking Wilderness is that of vigor and thoroughness: clearly a significant amount of research and work has gone into this book. In analyzing different arguments against preserving wilderness and replying to them in order to defend the notion that 'wilderness' is viable concept, which ought to be used in order to preserve actual places of wilderness, Woods is meticulous. One cannot think of a more studious book on the topic of wilderness, with such a careful inclusion and exploration of previous research.
