While most environmental historians have tended to explore the relationship between human beings and wild nature, in her new book Jennifer Price focuses instead on the place of nature in popular culture. A meditation on the meaning of the natural world in modern America, Price's book, in a set of five essays, examines such topics as plastic pink flamingos, shopping malls, and the representation of the physical environment on television. |
