Going Wild: Hunting, Animal Rights, and the Contested Meaning of Nature

First published in 1994, Going Wild offers a probing examination of the ways in which different conceptions of nature shape our responses to specific environmental issues. In this revised edition, Jan E. Dizard adds a thoughtful and extensive new chapter, updating the controversy over the state-managed deer hunt at the Quabbin Reservoir in Massachusetts and placing it in a broader national context.

Professor of sociology and American studies at Amherst College, Jan E. Dizard is coauthor of The Minimal Family (University of Massachusetts Press, 1990).
