Developing a provocative theme, Dan Flores asserts that Western environmental history cannot be explained by examining place, culture, or policy alone, but should be understood within the context of a universal human nature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Natural West entertains the notion that we all have a biological nature that helps explain some of our attitudes towards the environment. FLores also explains the ways in which various cultures-including the Comanches, New Mexico Hispanos, Mormons, Texans, and Montanans-interact with the environment of the West.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGracefully moving between the personal and the objective, Flores intersperses his writings with literature, scientific theory, and personal reflection. The topics cover a wide range-from historical human nature regarding animals and exploration, to the environmental histories of particular Western bioregions, and finally, to Western restoration as the great environmental theme of the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46476157976727,"sku":"9780806135373","price":2477.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780806135373.jpg?v=1766279435","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-natural-west-environmental-history-in-the-great-plains-and-rocky-mountains-9780806135373","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
