Books by Paul Shepard

In a world increasingly dominated by human beings, the survival of other species becomes more and more questionable. This book offers an alternative to an ""us or them"" mentality, proposing that other species are integral to humanity's evolution and exist at the core of our imagination.

An exploration of the roots of our attitudes toward nature, this text first appeared in 1967. It was among the first books of a new genre that has elucidated the ideas, beliefs and images that lie behind our modern destruction and conservation of the natural world.
