But we are now witnessing its rapid impoverishment, even destruction, in much of our world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this beautifully illustrated book, Jeremy Mynott traces the story of nature--past, present, and future. From the dramatic depictions of animals by the prehistoric cave-painters, through the romantic discovery of landscape in the eighteenth century, to the climate emergency of the present day, Mynott looks at the different ways in which humankind has understood the world around it. Charting how our ideas about nature emerged and changed over time, he reveals how the impulse to control nature has deep historical roots. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As we reach an environmental crisis point, this vital study shows how human imagination and wonder can play a restorative role--and reveal what nature ultimately means to us.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Jeremy Mynott's books include \u003ci\u003eBirdscapes: Birds in Our Imagination and Experience\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBirds in the Ancient World\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Consolation of Nature\u003c\/i\u003e.
