Part Two, ""Nature as Bad Mother, "" looks at the contrary notion of nature a a violent, threatening, and wrathful mother. This image arises most often when humans and technology are depicted as masters of unruly nature. Here Roach draws on theological reflection to analyze this ambivalence toward nature manifested in a fantasy that casts humans as gods. She explores the contributions of eco-theology and eco-psychology to a ""heart of darkness"" perspective. Finally, Part Three, ""Nature as Hurt Mother, "" looks at possibilities and pitfalls of environmental healing inherent in the image of nature as a mother we have wounded and now seek to heal.
