The Domination of NatureG. Braziller, 1972 - 242 páginas Originally published in 1972 (Beacon Press), catching the first wave of widespread interest in environmental issues, this influential work is here reprinted with an extensive new preface by the author. Leiss argues that the global environmental predicament must be understood in terms of deeply rooted attitudes towards nature, and he traces the origins, developments, and social consequences of those attitudes.
