Episode 203 - The Control Of Nature

In 1989, author John McPhee published his seminal work, “The Control of Nature.” Written in three long but highly informative and entertaining chapters, McPhee tells tales of human hubris, demonstrating conclusively that when humans begin to see themselves as being greater, stronger than, or superior to nature, nature will put us in our place, every time. In this episode, Natural Curiosity Project host Steven Shepard talks about McPhee’s book in the context of what we’re experiencing today—and shares a few practical things that we can do to set things right.
