"Beauty is perceived in and through cultural channels. However, because beauty is mediated does not by any means foreclose the idea that beauty is real and resides in the natural world. An ecologically inflected understanding of beauty and our perceptions and representations of it are essential to human flourishing."—Neil W. Browne, author of The World in Which We Occur

"This important, even game-changing collection is motivated by the admirable impulse to reinsert beauty and aesthetics into the critical discourse of ecocriticism."—Christoph Irmscher, author of Louis Agassis: Creator of American Science
This lively collection of essays explores the vital role of beauty in the human experience of place, interactions with other species, and contemplation of our own embodied lives. Devoting attention to themes such as global climate change, animal subjectivity, environmental justice and activism, and human moral responsibility for the environment, these contributions demonstrate that beauty is not only a meaningful dimension of our experience, but also a powerful strategy for inspiring cultural transformation.
