They look to previously unexamined or underexamined aspects of literature's relationship to the environment, including swamps, internment camps, Asian American environments, the urbanized Northeast, and lynching sites. The authors relate environmental discourse to practice, including the teaching of green design in composition classes, the restoration of damaged landscapes, the persuasive strategies of environmental activists, the practice of urban architecture, and the impact of human technologies on nature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essays also put ecocriticism into greater contact with the natural sciences, including elements of evolutionary biology, biological taxonomy, and geology. Engaging both ecocritical theory and practice, these authors more closely align ecocriticism with the physical environment, with the wide range of texts and cultural practices that concern it, and with the growing scholarly conversation that surrounds this concern.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnnie Merrill Ingram (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ANNIE MERRILL INGRAM is an associate professor of English at Davidson College and former director of its Center for Interdisciplinary Studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIan Marshall (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e IAN MARSHALL is professor of English and environmental studies at Penn State Altoona.
