He discusses their efforts to encounter and experience the spirit or energy of the land and to mark out its significance by investing it with sacred meanings. Their endeavors are presented against a broad canvas of cultural and environmental struggles associated with the incorporation of such geographically marginal places into an expanding global cultural economy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIvakhiv sees these contested and \"heterotopic\" landscapes as the nexus of a complex web of interestes and longings: from millennial anxieties and nostalgic re-imaginings of history and prehistory; to real-estate power grabs; contending religious visions; and the free play of ideas from science, pseudo-science, and popular culture. Looming over all this is the nonhuman life of these landscapes, an\"otherness\" that alternately reveals and conceals itself behind a pagenant of beliefs, images, and place-myths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA significant contribution to scholarship on alternative spirituality, sacred space, and the politics of natural landscapes, Claiming Sacred Ground will interest scholars and students of environmental and cultural studies, and the sociology of religious movements and pilgrimage. Non-specialist readers will be stimulated by the cultural, ecological, and spiritual dimensions of extraordinary natural landscapes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdrian Ivakhiv teaches in the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University in Toronto, and is President of the Environmental Studies Association of Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApril 2001\u003cbr\u003e384 pages, 24 b\u0026amp;w photos, 2 figs., 9 maps, 6 1\/8 x 9 1\/4, index, append.\u003cbr\u003ecloth 0-253-33899-9 $37.40 s \/  28.50 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI DEPARTURES\u003cbr\u003e 1 Power and Desire in Ea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrian J.
