As the full effects of human activity on Earth's life-support systems are revealed by science, the question of whether we can change, fundamentally, our relationship with nature becomes increasingly urgent. Just as important as an understanding of our environment, is an understanding of ourselves, of the kinds of beings we are and why we act as we do. In Loving Nature Kay Milton considers why some people in Western societies grow up to be nature lovers, actively concerned about the welfare and future of plants, animals, ecosystems and nature in general, while others seem indifferent or intent on destroying these things.

Bringing Back the Beaver
Since the early 1990s - in the face of outright opposition from government, landowning elites and even some conservation professionals - Derek Gow has imported, quarantined and assisted the reestablishment of beavers in waterways across England and Scotland. 'Bringing Back the Beaver' is farmer-turned-ecologist Gow's inspirational and often riotously funny firsthand account of how the movement to rewild the British landscape with beavers has become the single most dramatic and subversive nature conservation act of the modern era.
