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.

Of This Earth: Reflections on Connections, contains photographs that Jackie hopes will inspire you to explore your deep, profound connection with the natural world. Each photograph is accompanied with thought provoking words to get you thinking about your impact on the world. Of This Earth is an excellent visual companion forHealing Our World, A Journey from the Darkness into the light
