In was a non-academic article on Indian environmental movements that sparked Nugteren's (phenomenology and history of Indian religions, Tilburg, U., the Netherlands) interest in trees, especially noticing how easily and self-evidently a glorified past was deployed to vitalize an awareness of modern problems. Focusing on the ritual domain and the inter-relatedness of symbolic and material values, she considers trees in ancient religious literature, from the perspective of kings and poets, and in the Buddhist milieu; a living cult around the wood statues of Puri; rituals around sacred trees in contemporary India; and the symbolic values of trees in Indian environmentalism.
