Book Review

Seeing Nature through Gender. Edited by Virginia J. Scharff. Development of Western Resources series. Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 2003. 344 pp. Photographs, map. Cloth $45.00.

Collections are rarely groundbreaking. Yet Seeing Nature through Gender advances our knowledge of its field in two important ways: first, within its deliberately limited field, it has impressive scope. (It was produced for a series, Development of Western Resources, that deliberately confines its interests to the American West.) In addition, it pays careful attention to gender, not just a gender. Its essays are widely varied but well integrated, written by both men and women about both women and men, and they extend to families and the larger culture as well. In her introduction, editor Virginia J. Scharff reveals a deliberate intent to show how "gender conditions historical relations between humans and nature" (p. xv). Her essayists do a fine job of this, and her own editing sets off the essays in clear, if sometimes overlapping, categories.
