Herron, John P., and Andrew G. Kirk, eds. Human/Nature: Biology, Culture, and Environmental History. Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1999. This collection of essays was born at the New Mexico Environmental Symposium held in Albuquerque in April 1996. The collection is divided into two parts. In Part I, “Biology and Culture,” Dan Flores, Virginia Scharff, Vera Norwood, and Max Oelschlaeger “focus their discussions on issues of evolution, biological determinism, and the cultural construction of nature” (p. 9). In Part II, “Human/Nature Stories,” William deBuys, John Herron, Paul Hirt, and Andrew Kirk “illustrate how assumptions of human nature manifest themselves in American culture in general and the politics of environmentalism in particular” (p. 77).
