"The concept and values of wilderness, along with the practice of wilderness preservation,
have been under attack for the past several decades. In Rethinking Wilderness, Mark
Woods responds to seven prominent anti-wilderness arguments. Woods offers a rethinking
of the received concept of wilderness, developing a positive account of wilderness
as a significant location for the other-than-human value-adding properties of naturalness,
wildness, and freedom. Interdisciplinary in approach, the book combines environmental
philosophy, environmental history, environmental social sciences, the science of ecology,
and the science of conservation biology."
