The Decline of Nature : Environmental History and the Western Worldview( ISBN 978193314640-9)by Gilbert F.LaFreniere.

“The virtue of this monograph is threefold: it ingeniously connects the latest findings in environmental science to the broad stream of cultural history; it exposes the flaws inherent in western attitudes about nature, especially the destructive, providential “idea of nature; and revives the much neglected field of speculative philosophy of history”

Dr.Klaus Fischer, author of “Oswald Spengler and the Decline of the West” and “Nazi Germany: A New History”

Academica Press continues to seek monographs of any topic within this series, and specifically the areas of intellectual history and philosophy of science. Please direct inquiries to:
