| Summary |
"This book makes an innovative exploration into some of the implications and lacunae associated with the recent push by many social scientists to "denaturalise nature". The contributors to this volume describe the diverse forms which the dialectic between nature as 'fact' and nature as 'imagined' may take, and they show how this seeming dichotomy is a constantly shifting whole".--BOOKJACKET |
