Críticas
Despite its clinical-sounding title, this is no arcane treatise but an accessible and eloquent introduction to the concept of biophilia, the oinherent human affinity for life and lifelike process.o... Kellert passionately and convincingly argues that a future of increased pollution and diminished biological diversity would compromise much that now enhances our humanity. --Publishers Weekly This beautifully written book ... explores the many dimensions of our relationships with the natural world. In a lively and engaging style, Kellert reminds us of the riches we reap from nature, from material necessities to emotional, aesthetic, and spiritual well-being. In the best tradition of nature writing, Kellert draws on the sciences, humanities, and social sciences to explore the fascinating complexities of the many perspectives of human-nature experience. --American Forests
Reseña del editor
"Kinship to Mastery" is an accessible exploration of the notion of biophilia - the idea that humans, having evolved with the rest of creation, possess a biologically based attraction to nature and exhibit an innate affinity for life and lifelike processes. Stephen R. Kellert sets forth the idea that people exhibit different expressions of biophilia in different contexts, and demonstrates how our quality of life in the largest sense is dependent upon the richness of our connections with nature.
