Visit Sunny Chernobyl: And Other Adventures in the World's Most Polluted Places
4 journalers for this copy...
But it is also an exploration of what we mean when we talk about nature and the environment and confronts some essential contradictions in how we often think about these concepts. The author questions the wisdom of trying to preserve nature in the total absence of human activity, and whether this is even possible. He confronts the possibility that we have already irreversibly altered the ecosystem, and whether finding new ways to think about our relationship to the environment might be more helpful in addressing some of the conditions he encounters in his travels.
These are not locations that many other people (myself included) would find attractive as tourist destinations. But it is helpful that the author was interested in visiting them. This book allows us to consider the implications of what these locations say about how we live and what impact our lives have on our surroundings. While it doesn’t really provide any specific suggestions for how to solve these problems, it does help provide a framework for discussing possible solutions.
