Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Given the ubiquity of environmental rhetoric in the modern world, its easy to think that the meaning of the terms environment and environmentalism are and always have been selfevident. But in Surroundings, we learn that the environmental past is much more complex than it seems at first glance. In this wideranging history of the concept, Etienne S. Benson uncovers the diversity of forms that environmentalism has taken over the last two centuries and opens our eyes to the promising new varieties of environmentalism that are emerging today.Through a series of richly contextualized case studies, Benson shows us how and why particular groups of peoplefrom naturalists in Napoleonic France in the 1790s to global climate change activists todayadopted the concept of environment and adapted it to their specific needs and challenges. Bold and deeply researched, Surroundings challenges much of what we think we know about what an environment is, why we should care about it, and how we can protect it.
