It is easy to feel helpless in the face of the torrent of
information about environmental catastrophes taking place all over
the world. In this powerful and provocative book, Scottish writer
and campaigner Alastair McIntosh shows how it is still possible for
individuals and communities to take on the might of corporate power
and emerge victorious. As a founder of the Isle of Eigg Trust,
McIntosh helped the beleaguered residents of Eigg to become the
first Scottish community ever to clear their laird from his own
estate. And plans to turn a majestic Hebridean mountain into a
superquarry were overturned after McIntosh persuaded a Native
American warrior chief to visit the Isle of Harris and testify at
the government inquiry. This extraordinary book weaves together
theology, mythology, economics, ecology, history, poetics and
politics as the author journeys towards a radical new philosophy of
community, spirit and place. His daring and imaginative responses
to the destruction of the natural world make Soil and Soul an
uplifting, inspirational and often richly humorous read.
