"The Author in Ecstatic Contemplation of Planet" :Peter Matthiessen's Environmental Writing

As an environmentalist and the only writer who won the American National Book Award in both fiction and nonfiction, Peter Matthiessen has rich and broad writing perspectives. His nature writings mainly focus his search about the still-unexplored world and his novel writings mainly explore the root causes of deeper social problems of environmental destruction. From his first book Wildlife in American to his last one In Paradise, Human-nature relationship and environmental problems have always been at the heart of his concern, which fully shows his deep ecological feelings and social responsibilities.
