Somatic Ecology: Somatics, Nature, Humanity and the Human Body by Robert Bettmann

Somatic Ecology connects the human relationship to the human body to the theories of Deep Ecology and Ecofeminism. The book suggests that the human relationship to the human body is a mirror of the human relationship to the broader natural world. Chapters in the book present Deep Ecology, Ecofeminism, and then Contact Improvisation, Release Technique, and Body-mind Centering, to present a connection between environmental activism and the study of dance.
