Man and the Natural World

Book • 1983
In 'Man and the Natural World', Keith Thomas examines the transformation of attitudes towards the natural world in England from 1500 to 1800.

The book delves into the anthropocentric worldview prevalent during this period, where nature was seen as existing solely for human benefit.

It also discusses how this view began to shift with the rise of natural history and changing perceptions of animals and landscapes.
