Emma Marris presents us with a new way of viewing nature in the first chapter of her book, “Rambunctious Garden”. She explains that the definition of nature depicted in our “glossy magazines” describing a place “somewhere distant, wild and free” is incorrect, as it “blinds us” from the truth (Marris 1).

never be the same. In the moments prior, the former women’s bantamweight champion was knocked out by a vicious head kick and several hammerfists to the face at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia. The beating came via current women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm, who not only stripped Rousey of her belt but everything she had come to believe she was.
