Bohannon argues here that cities and natural environments, however, are both connected and continually affected by one another. He shows how such connections become overt during natural disasters, which disrupt the narratives people use to make sense of the world,including especially religious narratives, and make them more visible. This book offers both a theoretical exploration of the intersection of the city, nature, and religion, as well as a sociological analysis of the 1997 flood in Grand Forks, ND, USA. This case study shows how religious factors have influenced how the relationship between nature and the city is perceived, and in particular have helped to justify the urban control of nature. The narratives found in Grand Forks also reveal a broader understanding of the nature of Western cities, highlighting the potent and ethically-rich intersections between religion, cities and nature."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aCities and towns$xReligious aspects 606 $aFloods$zNorth Dakota$zGrand Forks$vCase studies 606 $aNature$xReligious aspects 606 $2Religion: general 607 $aGrand Forks (N.D.)$xReligious life and customs$vCase studies 607 $aUnited States$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCities and towns$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aFloods 615 0$aNature$xReligious aspects. 676 $a200.9173/2 700 $aBohannon$b Richard$g(Richard R.)$0934544 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452094703321 996 $aPublic religion and the urban environment$92231118 997 $aUNINA
