In this collection of essays, John Barnie explores the exciting thinking about the new nature as it appears to a non-scientist. In No Hiding Place the author outlines some of the intellectual restructuring which Neo-Darwinism insists that we make. Also included are essays on a number of poets - including R. S. Thomas, A. R. Ammons (USA) and Harry Martinson (Sweden) - who in various ways have responded to the pressures of the new thinking about nature on our lives.
