Essays to My Daughter on Our Relationship With the Natural World
2022
Overview
What do fishing with an otter, sitting atop a mountain at dawn
with eighty Taiwanese backpackers, and driving home from Aldo
Leopold's Shack have to say about the evolution of a personal
environmental philosophy? Essays to My Daughter on Our
Relationship With the Natural World provides a series of
reflections by an environmental educator about lessons learned from
time spent in nature. Originally conceived as personal letters to
the author's daughter, this collection presents ethical questions
outdoor enthusiasts regularly face as they work and play in the
natural world.
The essays in this book explore environmentalism in a modern-day
context, with topics including sustainability education, the
current relevance of environmental writers from the past, and the
uncertainty of what is meant by words like \"naturalist,\"
\"solitude,\" and \"wilderness.\" There is no attempt to direct readers
to any particular environmental philosophy. Instead, Simpson
encourages readers to articulate their own perspective based on
personal experiences in nature. Though Essays to My
Daughter is written by a father to his daughter, the insights
within the volume-and the questions they provoke-are valuable to
all members of the next generation as they grapple with their own
relationship to the natural world.
