Review # 1 was written on 2010-05-17 00:00:00 Homer Alexander I enjoyed this series of essays from different ecological writers about gender and ecology. They give an insight into different perspectives on the association between masculinity and nature. The best ones had a good conception of mans need to have dominion over nature through development and capitalism. Some were more powerful than others one of the essays by Ken Lamberton discussing the effect of only a small amount of nature in a prisoner's life is very moving and makes you think prisons should have access to nature to help aid rehabilitation. Others I found harder to read as they where a little indulgent and seemed confused as to the point they were making.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-01-28 00:00:00 Jay Leray Okay so it's not "cool" to read self-help books and, frankly, most of them give me the heebie jeebies, but I think this book was kind of spot-on. I liked how the ideas were presented in small vignettes instead of a massive tome that overwhelms more than inspires. I think Carlson has a good point in suggesting that maybe we make a big deal out of things that aren't such a big deal. I'm a pretty easy going person for the most part (oh, except for that depression thing) and a lot of what he says reflects my own philosophy. There were even a few new suggestions that I thought were helpful. In general, this is a book for someone who's a little too uptight, a little too stressed, and a little too much of a worrier.
