Our personal appreciation of landscapes encompasses all those places we may have touched, visited, or seen.
Inevitably, a radical shift in our notions of beauty in the outdoors is underway across all types, from inner city to wilderness. Landscapes confront and influence our physiological, psychological, and aesthetic relationship with the natural world. We question what we see.
This book's narrative arc of 17 separate essays travels through landscapes from the National Mall in Washington DC to the remote highlands of Mongolia. Uncovering the strains and indications of change in what we now experience outdoors, anywhere, everywhere, whether familiar or unfamiliar, these essays seek to open our eyes to new prospects of landscape appreciation.
Coming In To View welcomes the reader to imagine the actions and coalitions necessary to create their own landscapes of liberty for a more than human world.
