Notes

Comment on Dansereau's passion as he visits and discusses the various landscapes around the world. Discuss his philosophy of symbiosis between human beings and the landscapes of the world by applying natural ecological laws to man-made rural and urban environments. How does he remain so optimistic about our future on earth? Is his perception realistic? Clearly explain his "world view".
