About the Book
The present state of the world undergoes a terrible catastrophe as corona virus rewrites the fate of human existence. Man, the butcher of the earth, now feels threatened and compensates by paying his own life in an ecologically degraded world. His compulsion to conquer and exploit over nature is the cause of global environmental crisis. The dreadful viruses spread their network constructing space for apocalyptic thinking-nature's fury to mankind. The high frequency of aggressive capitalism and rapacious commercialism is the cause of increasing toxicity and environmental hazards. Pollution-free ecosystem has been the greatest challenge in the present era as priority is given to human-centred values. The environmental threats like global warming and climate change obviously operate from the flaw in man's anthropocentric vision. Formerly man had no supremacy over nature; rather he had been part of it. Now he is the exploiter of nature. Robert Frost, one of the most towering poets, has unfurled man-nature relationship through images and words that needs to rethink and refeel today.
