Taking Place:
 
Environmental Change in Literature and Art
explores how works of literature and art help us to rethink the ways that we have perceived, imagined, inhabited, explored, conquered, and shared places. The book offers chapters on India, Southern Africa, Ireland, Australia, and New York City. The literary and artistic works investigated range in time from early indigenous rock art to contemporary literary representations of place. Bonnie Kime Scott participates in ongoing interdisciplinary discussions of ecocritical, feminist, postcolonial, post-humanist and place studies.
