For thousands of years humans have grappled with the idea of Nature. This enduring question has left its poignant mark on a multiplicity of images, stories, works of art, & philosophical & religious systems. Here Tobias seeks to unravel the aesthetic, psychological & philosophical impact that the Earth has had on humanity, providing a dramatic overview of the new field of ecological aesthetics. Comprised of 10 autobiographical essays, this book is lavishly illustrated with art & images never brought together in an ecological context. Discusses Vivaldi, Giorgione, van Eyck & Vermeer, the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean, the ascetics of Sinai & Tibet, the Pure Land Buddhists, the Jains of India, Percy Bysshe Shelley, & much more.

Describes not only the curriculum & administration but also the social, military, & bureaucratic aspects of West Point. The Civil War was a war between West Pointers. All of the top commanders on both sides were graduates of the U.S. Military Academy -- Ulysses S. Grant vs. Robert E. Lee, William T. Sherman vs. Joseph Johnston, William S. Rosecrans vs. Braxton Bragg -- the list is long. Hence what these men learned & did not learn at West Point, & how that institution influenced their characters & attitudes, is of cardinal importance in understanding the war they fought & how they fought it. Carefully delineates the context in which a significant public institution of higher education operated, & the external pressures which shaped it.

<p>The papers of Major General Orlando Bolivar Willcox, one of the most prominent division commanders in the Union army, were recently discovered locked in a trunk in a Washington, D.C., attic, virtually untouched since his death nearly a century ago. Editor Robert Garth Scott has sifted through what is arguably the largest collection of Civil War-related material to surface in fifty years. From his childhood in Detroit through his cadetship at West Point, his service in the Mexican, Seminole, and Civil Wars, and his post-Civil War experiences in the West, Willcox’s story is published here for the first time.</p>
