Exploring the intersection of Freudian psychoanalysis and environmental issues, this book delves into concepts like the uncanny, sublimation, and melancholia as they relate to wetlands and their inhabitants, such as alligators and crocodiles. It examines the emotional responses to the loss of these ecosystems, highlighting how urban development reflects a deeper psychological symptom of humanity's relationship with nature. The work offers a unique perspective on how our psyche influences environmental concerns and urbanization.
