The trouble with turning to nature Natural Alan Levinovitz Beacon Press, 2020. 264 pp

Our obsession with “natural” products and practices is a proxy for other values In Natural , Alan Levinovitz unravels the moral and theological connotations of the word "natural" and questions what is left of the word once it is stripped bare. He covers a wide range of case studies, from childbirth to national parks, from lab-grown meat to organic foods, from financial markets to contraception, and from alternative medicine to the use of prostheses and supplements in sports.
