{"product_id":"9781583947852","title":"Ecology and Experience: Reflections from a Human Ecological Perspective","description":"A philosophical and narrative memoir, \u003ci\u003eEcology and Experience \u003c\/i\u003eis a thoughtful, engaging recounting of author Richard J. Borden’s life entwined in an overview of the intellectual and institutional history of human ecology—a story of life wrapped in a life story. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBorden shows that attempts to bridge the mental and environmental arenas are uncertain, but that rigid conventions and narrow views have their dangers too. Human experience and the natural world exist on many levels and gathering from both realms gives rise to novel constellations. In a blend of themes and approaches based on a lifetime of interdisciplinary inquiry, the author wanders these intersections and invites us to exercise our capacities for ecological insight, to deepen the experience of being alive, and, most of all, to more fully enrich our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003eContents\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword by Darron Collins, president of the College of the Atlantic\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003ePart I.
