Summary:

"Focusing on landscape, art, and public space, the book discusses a new definition of the relationship between man and nature following the hypothesis of the Anthropocene, according to which we have changed our planet and its ecosystem in such an irreversible way that we ourselves have become a geological factor, and we not only have to worry about our survival in nature, but also about that of nature itself, since it is man that makes nature."--Publisher's website (https://www.degruyter.com/view/product/468785; viewed 17 January 2017.).
