Böcker av Val Plumwood

Val Plumwood explores the emergence of ecofeminism, explaining its relation to other feminist and radical green theories. A philosophical account of the relationship between women and nature.

In 1985 Val Plumwood was attacked by a crocodile while kayaking alone in the Kakadu national park. She was death rolled three times before being released from the crocodile's jaws. She crawled for hours through swamp with appalling injuries before being rescued. The experience made her well placed to write about cultural responses to death.

A much-needed account of what has gone wrong in our thinking about the environment. Val Plumwood argues that we need to see nature as an end itself, rather than an instrument to get what we want.
