For Years, Environmentalists Have Insisted That Nature Is Fundamentally Good. In The Wild And The Wicked, Benjamin Hale Adopts The Opposite Position -- That Much Of The Time Nature Can Be Bad -- In Order To Show That Even If Nature Is Cruel, We Still Need To Be Environmentally Conscientious. Hale Argues That Environmentalists Needn't Feel Compelled To Defend The Value Of Nature, Or Even To Adopt The Attitudes Of Tree-hugging Nature Lovers. We Can Acknowledge Nature's Indifference And Periodic Hostility. Deftly Weaving Anecdote And Philosophy, He Shows That We Don't Need To Love Nature To Be Green. What Really Ought To Be Driving Our Environmentalism Is Our Humanity, Not Nature's Value. Return To The Paleocene -- The Precious Vase -- Rustling In The Bushes -- The Wild And The Wicked -- Control Freak -- Dr. Feelgood And Mr. Fix-it Go To The Picture Show -- The Voter's Conundrum -- The Axes Of Evildoers -- The Green's Gambit -- The Good Green Life -- Postscript: The Right Thing For The Right Reason. Benjamin Hale. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
