Coming into Contact Explorations in Ecocritical Theory And Practice

A snapshot of ecocriticism in action, Coming into Contact collects sixteen previously unpublished essays that explore some of the most promising new directions in the study of literature and the environment. They look at previously unexamined or underexamined aspects of literature's relationship to the environment, including swamps, internment camps, Asian American environments, the urbanized Northeast, and lynching sites. The authors relate environmental discourse to application in the restoration of damaged landscapes, the teaching of green design in composition classes, the persuasive strategies of environmental activists, the practice of urban architecture, and the impact of human technologies on nature.Ingram, Annie Merrill is the author of 'Coming into Contact Explorations in Ecocritical Theory And Practice', published 2007 under ISBN 9780820328867 and ISBN 0820328863.
