Bratton's book is a ground breaking analysis of the Christian roots of the modern environmental movement. She shows that far from being antagonistic to nature, Christian environmentalism emphasizes the goodness, even glory of God's earthly creation. She illustrates this in a variety of settings and through many individuals, including St Francis of Assisi.
