[edit] LOVING NATURE

Kay Milton considers why some people in Western societies grow up to be nature lovers, while others seem indifferent or intent on destroying these things. She draws on ideas from anthropology, psychology and philosophy.

How do some people come to care about nature and others don't? In Loving Nature, Kay Milton explores the idea of environmentalism as a distinct perspective on the world and tests the limits of anthropology against other disciplines, particularly psychology. Milton proposes a model of how we relate to the world in general and to nature in particular. Focusing on the role of emotion in shaping our experience and motivation, she develops a concept of sacredness in describing what we come to value. For environmentalists, anthropologists and those fascinated by psychology, this will make a thought-provoking read.
