Hospitality as an Environmental Metaphor.
Horwood, Bert
Pathways: The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education, v3 n5 p3-7 Aug 1991
Compares stewardship and hospitality as they relate to the biosphere. Traces the origin of the word "hospitality," discusses cultural traditions of hospitality, and applies the concept of hospitality to the natural world. Considers forms of symbiosis in nature: commensals, mutualism, and parasitism. Hospitality promotes respect, humility, and recognition of interdependence in nature. (KS)
