The Marvels Of The World: An Anthology Of Nature Writing Before 1700 (Penn Studies In Landscape Architecture) - 9780812252842

With its peerless selection of ninety-eight original sources dating from antiquity to the dawn of the Enlightenment and concerned with the natural world and humankind's place within it, The Marvels of the World offers a corrective to the still-prevalent tendency to dismiss premodern attitudes toward nature as simple or univocal.
