| Summary: | Using biography and the histories of religion, environmentalism, art, and culture as tools, this book recreates the mental and moral world that gave birth to the movements to conserve, preserve, and enjoy nature and to protect the environment. Through works of such artists as Thomas Cole, Frederic Church, Ansel Adams, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Leo Twiggs, it explores the landscapes of the mind of different religious traditions. It reveals how religious upbringing left its distinctive imprint on the life, work, and activism of a wide range of environmental figures. |
