Through a storying\u2014restorying\u2014restoring framework, this book explores how entanglements between writers and places have produced literary interventions in restoration politics. The book considers the ways literary landscapes are politicized by writers themselves, and by conservationists, activists, policymakers, and others, in defense of U.S. public lands and the idea of wilderness. The book profiles five environmental writers and examines how their writings on nature, wildness, wilderness, conservation, preservation, and restoration have variously inspired and been translated into ecological restoration programs and campaigns by environmental organizations. The featured authors are Henry David Thoreau (1817\u20131862) at Walden Pond, John Muir (1838\u20131914) in Yosemite National Park, Aldo Leopold (1887\u20131948) at his family\u2019s Wisconsin sand farm, Marjory Stoneman Douglas (1890\u20131998) in the Everglades, and Edward Abbey (1927\u20131989) in Glen Canyon. This book combines environmental history, literature, biography, philosophy, and politics in a commentary on considering (and developing) environmental literature\u2019s place in conversations on restoration ecology, ecological restoration, and rewilding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laura Smith, Lecturer in Human Geography at University of Exeter (UK), presented her book\u00a0Ecological Restoration and the U.S. Nature and Environmental Writing Tradition: A Rewilding [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2022-05-16-Smith.mp3","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2022-05-16-Smith_pod.jpg","cover_image_id":"2515","duration":"56:43","filesize":"41.48M","filesize_raw":"43499308","date_recorded":"2022-05-16","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":""},"tags":[],"series":[16],"class_list":["post-2513","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","hentry","series-greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks"],"episode_featured_image":false,"episode_player_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2022-05-16-Smith_pod.jpg","download_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-download\/2513\/laura-smith-ecological-restoration-and-the-u-s-nature-and-environmental-writing-tradition","player_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2513\/laura-smith-ecological-restoration-and-the-u-s-nature-and-environmental-writing-tradition","audio_player":"<a class=\"wp-embedded-audio\" href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2513\/laura-smith-ecological-restoration-and-the-u-s-nature-and-environmental-writing-tradition\">https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2513\/laura-smith-ecological-restoration-and-the-u-s-nature-and-environmental-writing-tradition<\/a>","episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/id1664960759","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"rss":{"key":"rss","url":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/","label":"RSS","class":"rss","icon":"rss.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0TNTSCl3zRBues4Eqjkwwm","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"rV1O9YjNaf\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/laura-smith-ecological-restoration-and-the-u-s-nature-and-environmental-writing-tradition\/\">Laura Smith &#8211; Ecological Restoration and the U.S. Nature and Environmental Writing Tradition<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/laura-smith-ecological-restoration-and-the-u-s-nature-and-environmental-writing-tradition\/embed\/#?secret=rV1O9YjNaf\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;Laura Smith &#8211; Ecological Restoration and the U.S. Nature and Environmental Writing Tradition&#8221; &#8212; The Greenhouse Book Talks\" data-secret=\"rV1O9YjNaf\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\n\/*!
