Originally published in 1972, The Domination of Nature was part of the first wave of widespread interest in environmental issues. Leiss argues that our current predicament arises from deeply rooted attitudes toward nature. A new preface explores the concept of eco-dominion and the moral obligations of human citizens of the twenty-first century.
