With these changes has also come an increased popular resistance to environmental reform, but, as Eric T. Freyfogle reveals in this book, that resistance has far deeper roots. Calling upon key environmental voices from the past and present-including Aldo Leopold, Wendell Berry, David Orr, and even Pope Francis in his Encyclical-and exploring core concepts like wilderness and the tragedy of the commons, A Good That Transcends not only unearths the causes of our embedded culture of resistance, but also offers a path forward to true, lasting environmental initiatives. A lawyer by training, with expertise in property rights, Freyfogle uses his legal knowledge to demonstrate that bad land use practices are rooted in the way in which we see the natural world, value it, and understand our place within it. While social and economic factors are important components of our current predicament, it is our culture, he shows, that is driving the reform crisis-and in the face of accelerating environmental change, a change in culture is vital. Drawing upon a diverse array of disciplines from history and philosophy to the life sciences, economics, and literature, Freyfogle seeks better ways for humans to live in nature, helping us to rethink our relationship with the land and craft a new conservation ethic. By confronting our ongoing resistance to reform as well as pointing the way toward a common good, A Good That Transcends enables us to see how we might rise above institutional and cultural challenges, look at environmental problems, appreciate their severity, and both support and participate in reform. 606 $aEnvironmental degradation$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEnvironmentalism$zUnited States 610 $aAldo Leopold. 610 $aDavid Orr. 610 $aLaudate Si'. 610 $aWendell Berry. 610 $aconservation. 610 $acultural change. 610 $aprivate property. 610 $aroot causes. 610 $atragedy of the commons. 610 $awilderness. 615 0$aEnvironmental degradation$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEnvironmentalism 676 $a304.280973 700 $aFreyfogle$b Eric T., $0727928 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162714403321 996 $aA Good That Transcends$92281105 997 $aUNINA
