#374: 'The Story of Nature' - new in

A new arrival this month was this chunky new book by Jeremy Mynott which promises to explore the story of mankind's changing relationship with nature.


This would seem to offer a scholarly perspective on many of the original ideas that underpinned the draft specification, and which I hope end up being in the final version.
I have made a start and am mightily impressed so far.
It has made me reconsider the reasons why cave paintings were made, and the way that domesticating animals changed our relationship with certain animals.

If you want a taste of the book, you can visit Amazon, where you can look inside the book.
I am looking forward to continuing the story over the coming months.

This comes highly recommended. A full review will come once I've finished it...
