Book Synopsis

Originally published in 1972, The Domination of Nature was part of the first wave of widespread interest in environmental issues. Leiss argues that our current predicament arises from deeply rooted attitudes toward nature. A new preface explores the concept of eco-dominion and the moral obligations of human citizens of the twenty-first century.



Trade Review

"Leiss weaves a complex and frequently scintillating theme that sometimes poses old questions in new ways and also raises new questions that might provoke a measure of lucidity in a discussion now deeply obfuscated." Richard J. Neuhaus, The Annals of the American Academy.
