The Comedy of Survival: In Search of an Environmental Ethic

From Introduction: "...Joseph Meeker's perspective on the world is that of an itinerant connector, patiently working back and forth between the domains of ethology and ecology, literature and biology, art and nature. He reveals us to ourselves without condemning us, his tolerance and good will signifying his own healthy, human intraspecies animality. He invites us not simply to emulate him in his quest of wholeness and healing, but to join him - disagreeing, if need be - in bridging the long-standing dichotomy between things cultural and things natural, in which literature is not only heir but an active participant."
