Nature Writing, As Thoreau Knew, Can Be Deeply Subversive Because It Points To Ways Of Living That Diverge Fundamentally From Dominant Attitudes.

Scott Momaday And Leslie Marmon Silko, Who Accentuate The Links Between Culture And Nature. Other Essays Speak To The Loss Of Place And To Being Stewards Of Nature And Of Bioregionalism, Nativeness, And Of Interdependent Communities, Be They In Rural Areas Or Urban Neighborhoods. Several Essays Address How Our Current Ideologies Of Growth And Individualism Run Counter To A Sustainable Relationship To The Land And To Each Other. In The Final Three Essays, Gary Snyder Critiques Various Views Of Nature, Alice Walker Articulates A Vision Of A Responsive Universe, And Linda Hogan Celebrates The Interaction Of Nature And Human Habitation. The Contributors' Views, Writings, And Contexts Are Variegated, But All Share A Sense That Human Identity Is Intimately Tied To The Land One Lives On. And As In An Ecosystem, The Collection'S Great Diversity Yields Abundant Riches.At Home On The Earth Represents The Cutting Edge Of Environmental Thinking In The United States Today. Throughout, The Interactions Between Humans And Nature Convey A Politics Of Hope, One Sustained By Faith In Place Itself.
