Map of Wilderland

Discover the profound insights of Amber Lehning in her compelling book, Map of Wilderland, published by Kent State University Press in 2022. Spanning 296 pages, this hardback edition delves into the intricate relationship between myth and our identity. Lehning posits that the narratives we create about ourselves significantly shape our understanding of who we are. Expanding this discussion into the ecocritical realm, she argues that the stories we tell about our connection to the natural world hold as much influence over our actions as scientific findings or government policies. Map of Wilderland invites readers to reflect on the power of storytelling and its impact on our behavior towards the environment, making it a vital read for anyone interested in ecology, philosophy, and the human experience.
