Synopsis

The fourteen essays in ""Where We Belong"" exemplify Paul Shepard's interdisciplinary approach to human interaction with the natural world. Drawn from Shepard's entire career and presented chronologically, these pieces vary in setting from the Hudson River to the American prairie to New Zealand. Equally impressive is Shepard's spatial range, as he moves from subtle differences to grand designs, from the intimacy of an artist's brush stroke to a vista of the harsh Greek terrain.

Review:

Shepard's intellect was wide-ranging and his writing is strong, as this collection proves. - Virginia Quarterly Review ""His essays are so erudite, his sources so wide-ranging, that it is impossible not to read these essays and see old problems in new ways."" - Environmental History
