Woven together as a philosophical and narrative memoir based on a lifetime of interdisciplinary inquiry, <i>Ecology and Experience</i> is a playful, engaging overview of the history of human ecology, showing how the field's philosophy and institutions have changed over time. Offering a wide range of themes and approaches, author Richard J. Borden explores the multiple intersections between human culture and ecology, and extends an open invitation to us, beseeching us to exercise our capacities for ecological insight, deepen the experience of being alive, and enrich our lives completely.<br><br><u>Contents</u><br>Foreword by Darron Collins, president of the College of the Atlantic<br>Preface<br>Part I.
