Federman: Toward an Ecology of Place: Three Views of Cape Cod Toward an Ecology ofPlace: Three Views ofCape Cod by DONALD FEDERMAN COLOGISTS in the twentieth century have taught us to recognize that E the interrelationships of objects in a natural landscape are not only a source of wonder, but the principal reason why life endures. why a natural landscape seems more permanent than the rapidly changing social landscapes of man. Indeed, ecologists have sought to isolate those principles of connection between organisms which guarantee their sur­ vival as a prescription for the future ofmankind. How creatures fit in an environment is, therefore, of paramount impor­ tance in many nature essays. These essays demonstrate that the relation­ ship of an organism to its environment is of such precision and balance that man in his own unnatural environments cannot hope to emulate it. The writers ofthese essays ask their fellow men to accept the idea that the elements insist on their own art; they depict a landscape at the dis­ position of natural forces rather than human enterprise. They see a natural landscape for its own sake rather than for man's sake.

These writers are connected by a shared and intense love of nature; however, because they write during different moments in history, their approaches to and definitions of “nature” vary.
