Nature Red in Tooth and Claw
Rebecca Stott argues that we need to rethink our relationship with nature - and stop perpetuating an image of ourselves as outside Nature.
"For several centuries", writes Rebecca Stott, "the dominant Western version of Nature has been Mother Nature, benevolent, ever-giving, nurturing, bountiful and compliant".
This was later replaced by a less compliant and benevolent image....but we've always perpetuated an idea of Nature as something outside us, something to be mastered.
Rebecca argues that we need to rethink our relationship with nature - and see ourselves as in nature and part of nature, not outside of it.
