“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Hi,

Sorry for the unrelated comment, but...

On a recent drive from Salt Lake City to Edmonton, Alberta, I listened to almost all the podcasts of "Literature and the Environment." Needless to say, my head hurts in the best possible way.

I just ordered The Ecological Thought, and can't wait to start reading it. I'm absolutely fascinated by the idea of DNA as algorithm, fractals, the cantor set, etc. I would very much like to read more on the topic. Are there any books on the topic you would recommend?

Also, are there any plans to podcast any more classes? I, and all your Canadian fans, would love it.

Hi Anon,

Benoit Mandelbrot's Fractal Geometry of Nature would be a very good place to start. Nothing like going to the source.

I shall indeed be podcasting again, probably next fall.

Thanks so much for the very kind message.
