I found this introduction to the
section to be very interesting and insightful.
It said the common theme among the writers is a passionate love and
concern for the well-being of nature. From
what we have read so far of this section, I believe this has truly been a
common theme. I found the next section
discusses the changing attitudes to be interesting as it related to biology,
which is my major. I believe that today,
biology consists of science involving the natural history and physical
science. We analyze things base on primary
properties that are measureable and other secondary qualities that cannot be
measured such as taste, smell and sound.
I find the fact that both scientists and nature poets both wrote about aesthetic and
scientific comments in their writings show how similar the two fields are. While their general purposes are different, they
both can also lead to an appreciation and conservation efforts.
