Nature and the City: Learn to Live Wisely on Earth by Observing our Home Places
Dr. John Tallmadge
A teacher with thirty years’ experience in doctoral and undergraduate education, Dr. John Tallmadge’s work deals with nature, culture and the human experience.
As a writer, he has used creative nonfiction to explore transforming encounters with landscapes and people. Dr. Tallmadge’s first book focused on wilderness and initiation, but his current work deals with urban nature, “We can learn so much about living wisely on the earth from paying attention to our own home places.”
As a leader in national organizations devoted to environmental studies, nature writing and ecocriticism, Dr. Tallmadge has reviewed more than 15 trade and university presses and edited for the University of Virginia Press series, Under the Sign of Nature: Explorations in Ecocriticism.
