Back to the Garden - Nature and the Mediterranean World

The author demonstrates how this relationship, which persisted for millennia, effectively came to an end in the late eighteenth century, when nature came to be equated with untamed landscape devoid of human intervention. McGregor’s essential work offers a new understanding of environmental accountability while proposing that recovering the original vision of ourselves, not as antagonists of nature but as cultivators of a biological world to which we innately belong, is possible through proven techniques of the past.
