The human impulse to religion can be seen to encompass environmentalism as an offshoot of the secular, material faith in human reason and power that dominates modern society. This book traces the history of environmentalism - and its moral thrust - from its roots in the Enlightenment and Romanticism through the Progressive Era to the present.
