Inhaltsangabe

By exploring the stages of ecological transformation that took place as Europeans settled New England, Carolyn Merchant develops a fresh approach to environmental history. She brings to light the dense network of links between the human realm of economic regimes, social structure, and gender relations, as they are conditioned by a dominant worldview, and the ecological realm of plant and animal life.
