Sommario/riassunto

This brief but ambitious book explores the relationship with nature through the imagery we use when we talk about Mother Nature.  Employing the critical tools of religious studies, psychology, and gender studies, Roach examines the various manifestations of nature as 'mother' and what that idea implies for the way we approach the natural world.
