{"product_id":"invention-of-the-wilderness","title":"Invention of the Wilderness","description":"In \u003ci\u003eInvention of the Wilderness,\u003c\/i\u003e Bruce Bond explores the wilderness as a spiritual, psychological, and ecological realm—a territory that, depending on our tolerances and affections, calls out for order, exploitation, expansion, or preservation. Although to talk of \"inventing\" the wilderness seems paradoxical, the book seeks to reclaim the etymological root of \"invention\" as a \"venturing in.\" To invent a wilderness is to go inward by way of attentive engagement in the natural world, to affirm and liberate imaginative expression as no mere mirror of nature, but a force of it. At times meditative and melancholic, though also vibrant and full of life, \u003ci\u003eInvention of the Wilderness\u003c\/i\u003e proposes an embodied and reflective way of being in the world.","brand":"Louisiana State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57258525524312,"sku":"9780807177969","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/invention-of-the-wilderness","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
