About the Contributors.

This book reaffirms Carolyn Merchant as the foundational guru of modern environmental history and ecofeminism. The fine essays in After the Death of Nature, ably edited by three outstanding scholars of ecology, offer irrefutable testimony to the timeless importance of Merchant as a writer, philosopher, and public educator. It's impossible to properly think about the natural world without grappling with Merchant's far-reaching 21st century global vision. Douglas Brinkley, Katherine Tsanoff Brown Chair of Humanities and Professor of History, Rice University and author of Rightful Heritage: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Land of AmericaThis collection of essays is one of the finest anthologies of its kind. It brings together stellar scholars to celebrate Carolyn Merchant’s life work. What more fitting tribute to her accomplishments than these excellent essays, which should be widely read in the years to come.
