In 1989, author John McPhee published his seminal work, \u201cThe Control of Nature.\u201d 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.\n\nIn this episode, Natural Curiosity Project host Steven Shepard talks about McPhee\u2019s book in the context of what we\u2019re experiencing today\u2014and shares a few practical things that we can do to set things right.
