The passage of the Wilderness Act of 1964, while protecting millions of acres of land from actions of industrialized society, also had the consequence of commoditizing wilderness. In defining wilderness as it did, the Wilderness Act of 1964 advocated an idea of wilderness that never existed and could never exist. The propagation of millennial and jeremiad narratives to espouse the values of nature in order to protect non-attainable outcomes has lead to eco-anxiety in the United States. This eco-anxiety is seen in many aspects of consumer culture, including coffee consumption. After outlining the implications of the Wilderness Act of 1964, this thesis explores the ways in which eco-rhetorics have pervaded the discourse of coffee consumption in both the public and private spheres, first by analyzing the eco-rhetorics at play in coffee sleeves and then by examining the ethos evolution of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. into Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.

From Denali's majestic slopes to the Great Swamp of central New Jersey, protected wilderness areas make up nearly twenty percent of the parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and other public lands that cover a full fourth of the nation's territory. But wilderness is not only a place. It is also one of the most powerful and troublesome ideas in American environmental thought, representing everything from sublime beauty and patriotic inspiration to a countercultural ideal and an overextension of government authority. The Promise of Wilderness examines how the idea of wilderness has shaped the management of public lands since the passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964. Wilderness preservation has engaged diverse groups of citizens, from hunters and ranchers to wildlife enthusiasts and hikers, as political advocates who have leveraged the resources of local and national groups toward a common goal. Turner demonstrates how these efforts have contributed to major shifts in modern American environmental politics, which have emerged not just in reaction to a new generation of environmental concerns, such as environmental justice and climate change, but also in response to changed debates over old conservation issues, such as public lands management. He also shows how battles over wilderness protection have influenced American politics more broadly, fueling disputes over the proper role of government, individual rights, and the interests of rural communities; giving rise to radical environmentalism; and playing an important role in the resurgence of the conservative movement, especially in the American West.

Wilderness in many parts of the globe is under considerable threat from human development. This has important ramifications not only for fauna and flora but also for human well-being. Wilderness in the Bible addresses this ecological crisis from a biblical and theological perspective. It first establishes the context of a biblical study of wilderness and then passes to an analysis of the attitudes towards in the canonical biblical record. This provides the biblical basis for the development of a theology of wilderness for the twenty-first century. The Australian wilderness is taken as an illuminating case study.
