Summary

"This book looks at representations of nature in popular art and media, including fiction, to trace its construction in Western culture as justly vengeful. By depicting nature as monstrous, abject, or apocalyptic, these works lead popular audiences to imagine nature opposed to human harm and exacting justice in response"-- Provided by publisher.
