(2009) The presence of nature, Dordrecht, Springer.
In Chapter 1 we saw that references to being "in' nature can be interpreted in several different ways. Most of us know what it is like to be au fait with a particular natural environment, "at home' in it. And regardless of whether we know what it is like to be in nature in this way, our perception will be conditioned by our inherence in the world. So whether or not we are at home in any natural environments, our perception of all phenomena, natural ones included, will necessarily be embodied — conditioned, that is, by the fact that we are of the same "stuff' as the things we encounter.
