'...environmental disasters, our relationship with nature and teh Nature archetype are explored from a Jungian perspective through the use of nature myths that illustrate greed and environmental destruction. Our relationship with nature is considered through a felt-sense of nature's presence, what Jung called the "One World" or unus mundus. Using Jung's complex theory and his work on archetypes, the author combines his background working as a scientist for hazardous waste cleanup projects and his training as a Jungian analyst to examine the psychological problem of toxic environmental spills.'
