Hack, burn and pollute it as we may, nature is still out there and we’re
still bumping into it, with sometimes bizarre results. In The New Earth
Reader, David Rothenberg and Marta Ulvaeus have put together the best of
the magazine Terra Nova to explore these close encounters. “Being Prey”
takes us into the jaws of an Australian crocodile. Val Plumwood concluded there
that we need to develop the subtlety, imagination and humility to coexist with
nature’s otherness. Published by MIT Press, £15.50, ISBN 0262181959.
