Embodiment of a Nation is written by Cecelia TICHI and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674044355 (ISBN 10) and 9780674044357 (ISBN 13).

From Harriet Beecher Stowe's image of the Mississippi's "bosom" to Henry David Thoreau's Cape Cod as "the bared and bended arm of Massachusetts," the American environment has been represented in terms of the human body. Exploring such instances of embodiment, Cecelia Tichi exposes the historically varied and often contrary geomorphic expression of a national paradigm.
