Unnatural Nature. "The New Nature", by Tim Low. [review]

Abstract

Are there any areas of wilderness remaining in Australia, indeed in the world? In his latest book, Tim Low, one of Australia’s most thought-provoking natural history writers, answers with an emphatic ‘no’. He also claims that the concept of wilderness is unhelpful and leads to widespread misconceptions about nature and naturalness. Instead of wilderness, argues Low, we need concepts that acknowledge the central role played by people in all our ecosystems.
