Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"It's hard to imagine finding a wiser group of humans than the authors represented here, all of them both thinkers and do-ers in the greatest battle humans have ever faced. An epic collection!" --Bill McKibben, author, "Deep Economy" and "The End of Nature"

"Despite the gloomy ecological outlook, these essays exude optimism in their belief that love and harmony can prevail over greed and insanity. They are eloquent and passionate pleas for the planet." --"Publishers Weekly"

"We live in a time of ecological uncertainty and we need opportunities to reconnect with the sacred. Just as scientists are modern-day prophets who tell us why we must act to save our planet, the essayists in this book are sages who remind us why that work is worthwhile." --The Rev. Canon Sally G. Bingham, founder, The Regeneration Project - Interfaith Power & Light

"This gathering of elders from all over the globe...is nothing short of a modern oracle whose voices translate the wisdom of the Earth we must care for. Whatever your passion or work, read this book to better know the irreplaceable ground we all depend on." --Mark Nepo, author "Seven Thousand Ways to Listen and The Book of Awakening"

"This book is a call to action. It requires us to put down every-day concerns that preoccupy our minds and listen with our hearts to the testaments of how desperately the earth needs us. I thank the authors in the book for reinforcing my commitment to protect the earth as much as is in my power." --His Holiness, The 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje

"Some of the most inspiring voices on behalf of our living planet speak forth with power and clarity in this hugely important and timely book. Their words help us find our true home and our rightful place within the great turning world of Nature." --Stephen Harding, PhD, author, "Animate Earth," founding member, Schumacher College

""Spiritual Ecology" is a superb collection of thoughtful pieces by people who have gone deep to understand our relations with the Earth. It comes at a crucial time for humanity." --Barry Lopez, author, "Arctic Dreams" (winner National Book Award), "Of Wolves and Men," "Crossing Open Ground," "About This Life"

Reseña del editor:

Showing the deep connection between our present ecological crisis and our lack of awareness of the sacred nature of creation, this series of essays from spiritual and environmental leaders around the world shows how humanity can transform its relationship with the Earth. Combining the thoughts and beliefs from a diverse range of essayists, this collection highlights the current ecological crisis and articulates a much-needed spiritual response to it. Perspectives from Buddhism, Sufism, Christianity, and Native American beliefs as well as physics, deep psychology, and other environmental disciplines, make this a well-rounded contribution.
