4.9/5 (24244 ratings)

Description:"An extraordinary intellectual voyage" through Gaelic environmental awareness, centuries ahead of its time, and its value today (The Herald).Caring for the environment, developing rural communities, and ensuring the survival of minority cultures are all laudable objectives, but they can conflict, and nowhere more so than the Scottish Highlands. As environmentalists strive to preserve the scenery and wildlife of the Highlands, the people who belong there, and who have their own claims on the landscape, question this new threat to their culture, which dates back thousands of years.In this sensitive, thought-provoking book, James Hunter probes deep into this culture to examine the dispute between Highlanders, who developed a strong environmental awareness a thousand years before other Europeans, and conservationists, whose thinking owes much to the romantic ideals of the nineteenth century. More than that, he also suggests a new way of dealing with the problem, advocating drastic land-use changes and the repopulation of empty glens--an approach that has worldwide implications."A very thoughtful piece of advocacy." --The ScotsmanWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
