Healing
Our World: A journey from the darkness into the light,
challenges the reader to question just about every assumption they
have about how the Earth works and what our impact is on it. Throughout
the book are examples of how our disconnection from the natural world
and from the rhythms of the Earth have created a distance between
humans and the planet of their birth. Because of that distance, we
don't think twice about our damaging and destructive consumption that
is rapidly reducing the planet's life support capacity. Activists
everywhere are heeding the call to action, hearing, as Buddhist Monk
Thich Nhat Hahn says, "the sound of the Earth crying."
Healing
Our World is an excellent
primary or supplementary textbook for a variety of environmental science,
environmental studies, political science and other classes.
