Zusammenfassung
The focus in the following chapters is on the
different ways that language, which is now represented in most classrooms from the early grades
through graduate school as a conduit in a sender/receiver process of communication, carries
forward many of environmentally destructive misconceptions of the past. Each chapter
examines, within the context of different discourses, how the layered metaphorical nature of the
language/thought connection continues to reinforce the same mindset that underlies a number of
key characteristics of Western culture that still are not being addressed—even by environmental
thinkers.
