In 2012, the Environment & Society Portal and Mark Stoll published the virtual exhibition “Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, a Book That Changed the World.” Version 2 of this virtual exhibition [February 2020] implements the Environment & Society Portal’s new responsive exhibition template and includes minor content updates from author Mark Stoll. This page provides a link to a PDF of the original version.
This exhibition collects wilderness-equivalent terms and describes them in a few short paragraphs, discussing how they may be similar to or different from the wilderness that native English speakers know and admire. The subtleties of meanings encompassed by the above terms, say, between human presence or absence, or between love and fear for the wild regions, is what we hope to explore. The exhibition is coordinated and edited by environmental historian Marcus Hall.
