Home Place: Essays on Ecology, new revised edition / Edition 2

by Stan Rowe

Overview

First released in 1990... the essays in Home Place range from the personal—the search for a childhood vision of pristine grassland... the boy who goes from hunting to respecting wildlife and the living space around him—to theory on land use... environmental law... agriculture... education... and technology as it affects the relationships between humanity and the Ecosphere.
