The broken relationship between humans and nature:
Skimming the edited extract from Foreign Bodies by Simon #Schama:#Displacement is a symptom of #Ecosystems under stress.
“The crashing of barriers between wild and domestic spaces has an ominous side."
"Clearcutting for suburban #Construction to meet the quickened demand has brought new residents ever closer to those ubiquitous reservoirs of #Disease."
The #AmericanDream (The #AustralianDream): the suburban hyperfertilised #Lawn
"The #Sprawl of herbicide-saturated, brilliantly lurid carpet lawns of “colonial” McMansions."
The cult of #Individualism
Cities, suburbanites and species out of place..https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/13/simon-schama-foreign-bodies-book-extract-broken-relationship-humans-animals

@alex_galt @NCGHammo New 3-part series by #Schama just started on #bbc2 #HistoryofNow. He’s using Pasternak, Havel to remind us of our essential human need to live freely, to think, say and do what we want with our friends & family. Democracy rocks, Authoritarianism sucks!
